better say that Napoli doesn't want him to be playing for Nigeria," he said adding: "Each time Nigeria has a match he gets injured, after the match he'll play for Napoli and score goals... Osimhen know what he is doing." "The same Napoli that claimed a few days back his injury wasn't serious and would keep him out for only a week?," Victor Cobham posed a question, adding: "Napoli always looks for ways to stop Osimhen from playing for his country, this club's antics is becoming despicable." After being subbed off in the Group A fixture that the Partenopei went on to win 4-1 at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Napoli confirmed the injury was not as serious as thought and that the Super Eagle will be out for a few days. "Napoli always program his injury to every international break," Akin Babalola kicked off the debate on GOAL Africa Facebook page while Kazeem Gbolahan Ade opined: "Napoli at it again always program his injury not to make him play for his country. Napoli have come under heavy criticism from Nigeria supporters who have claimed the Italy club is trying to prevent forward Victor Osimhen from playing for the Super Eagles during the Fifa international break.

The sight of Victor Osimhen sitting on the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona turf will have filled fans of Napoli and Nigeria with trepidation.

Clubs desire to have players they can rely upon for a stretch of games but there is a certain risk involved in any switch that could occur in the Nigerian’s future. Supporters at the Maradona had never seen their side land a series of huge blows on one of the continent’s best sides under the lights in Europe’s premier club competition. Featuring 51 times from a possible 76 games and starting just over half of that number is not what the side from Naples signed up for and this latest episode is far from ideal even if Simeone and Raspadori could fill in for the former Wolfsburg striker. 24 and 27 appearances altogether. The Partenopei had never been this dominant. Coronavirus at the turn of successive years in 2021 and 2022 saw the striker miss several games and a calf strain last season ruled out the centre-forward for two matches.

Former Napoli star Paolo Di Canio believes that Gli Azzurri's massacring Liverpool will give them a huge boost.

Napoli will have to face Liverpool again in the group and the Reds could be looking for revenge when the Italians visit Anfield in November. The Reds, who were finalists in the Champions League last term, were humbled 4-1 by Luciano Spalletti’s side in the opening match of their group on Wednesday. It was a statement of intent from the Italian outfit and Di Canio believes that the game was completely dominated by Napoli, who tore Liverpool to shreds.

At Spurs, Ndombele has received criticism from supporters and pundits for a lack of work-rate. As a 13-year-old boy he got a tattoo of the Champions League logo on his arm - much against his parents wishes - and vowed to kiss it when he scored his firs goal in the competition. He has featured in three games so far at Napoli, but was an unused substitute in their 4-1 thrashing of Liverpool. "If Luciano Spalletti works a miracle, I will take my hat off," Di Canio told Calcio Napoli. Osimhen missed a penalty in the remarkable drubbing of Jurgen Klopp's side. He has already started undergoing therapy sessions for recovery

“There’s a great atmosphere within the team. “It’s difficult to play three days after a night like that against Liverpool, especially in the afternoon in this heat. A few minutes later, “Kvara” was at it again with more dizzying dribbling moves to shake off his markers. “These are all starting points for me,” Raspadori said. What’s more is that Raspadori became Napoli’s eighth different scorer in Serie A this season, tied for the most in the league with Inter Milan.
