Trains in full Tuesday Osimhen (knee) trained in full Tuesday and should be an option for Wednesday's second leg against Juventus in the Champions League, the club posted.

Impact Osimhen sat out the last matchup against Konyaspor with what was officially labeled a knee issue, though there may have been additional off-field factors in play, but the striker was back in full training Tuesday morning and is trending toward being available for Wednesday's second leg against Juventus in the Champions League. That is a major boost for the lions, as the Nigerian forward has been a locked-in starter up top and they will need their focal point at full strength to punch their ticket to the next round. That said, if Osimhen is eased in and starts on the bench, Mauro Icardi would be next in line to lead the attack.

Misses recent league match Osimhen missed Saturday's 2-0 loss to Konyaspor due to a knee injury and some apparent internal issues with the club, according to Daily Sabah.

Impact Osihmen looks to be in question for Wednesday's massive second leg against Juventus, as the forward has just missed out with a knee injury over the weekend. However, this may not be the only reason for his absence, as multiple sources have reported he is unhappy about not receiving some of his salary, hinting at an internal issue with the club. After only training individually Sunday, some major doubts remain for the forward, unknown if he will be able to play in the second leg. He earned an assist last time out, so this could be a major loss, especially with Mauro Icardi also carrying some issues.

He's one of the most lethal strikers in the Champions League, but he couldn't find the back of the net during Tuesday's clash. He still tallied a goal contribution and took three shots, and if Juventus focus on attacking in the second leg Osimhen could be primed to pounce.

Three shots, no goal Osimhen had three shots (three on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Osimhen came up with a few chances and nearly hit one in on the run with his right foot, but was ultimately stopped, with all three shots failing to find the back of the net despite being on target.
