Victor Osimhen - Page 5 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Good to go for Atalanta clash Osimhen (thigh) made Napoli's squad list to face Atalanta on Saturday.

Impact Osimhen is healthy and available but has logged just one full session this week, so he'll at most get some minutes off the bench, with either Giacomo Raspadori or Giovanni Simeone in the XI. He has scored three goals and added 18 shots (nine on target) and two key passes in his last five appearances.

Diagnosed with significant thigh injury Osimhen suffered a medium-grade biceps femoris strain in his right thigh, Napoli announced.

Impact Osimhen will be out for four to six weeks and will struggle to return before the next international break, Sky Italy informs. He'd be sidelined for four Serie A games and two Champions League ones if he couldn't beat the expected timetable. Giovanni Simone and Giacomo Raspadori will spearhead the frontline in relief.

Leave Nigerian camp with injury Osimhen was forced off during Friday's 2-2 International friendly draw against Saudi Arabia and has left the national team camp with an injury.

Impact Osimhen will return to Napoli, where he will be evaluated for his injury picked up while on international duty with Nigeria. The team hopes that his injury is nothing too serious, especially after opening the campaign with six Serie A goals in eight appearances.

USMNT's Christian Pulisic scores to help AC Milan beat Lazio, 2-0

Hits the net in Lecce match Osimhen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus Lecce.

Impact Osimhen was spared from the start for the first time in the season but didn't need much time to deliver after the interval, finding the target with a comfortable header. He didn't put up many stats, though. He has scored in consecutive games after a short lull. He has posted 20 shots (eight on target) and six crosses (zero accurate) in the last five tilts. Napoli will host Real Madrid in Champions League Tuesday and then Fiorentina next Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores fourth goal this season Osimhen scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 4-1 win against Udinese.

Impact Osimhen broke a streak of four scoreless matches in this one and tallied a season-high three shots on target. The forward played his fewest minutes with 63 in this contest but that is presumably maintenance related as he is the undisputed focal point of Napoli's attack.

Squanders PK in Bologna contest Osimhen won one duel, registered four shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate), and missed a penalty kick in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Bologna.

Impact Osimhen had fewer shots than in the recent games but should have scored, as he hit the post from close range in the early going, with Lukas Skorupski just tipping the ball, and especially because he sent his attempt from the penalty spot wide late in the second half. He hasn't hit the net in four matches, where he has logged 19 shots (four on target), three key passes, and five crosses (zero accurate). Napoli will host Udinese Wednesday.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses end product Wednesday Osimhen won nine duels, had three interceptions, and took nine shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus SC Braga.

Impact Osimhen uncorked a series of attempts but was rarely accurate and was denied by the goalie a couple of times. He rocked the crossbar in his best effort. He paced his team and set a new season high for shots. He hasn't scored in three games in a row after hitting the net thrice in the first two ones. Napoli will face Bologna away Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misfires against Lazio Osimhen registered five shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and three chances created in Saturday's 1-2 defeat to Lazio.

Impact Osimhen had an okay showing despite being held out of the stat sheet for the first in the campaign, as he was the runner-up in the attempts and paced his team in key passes. He wasn't as deadly as in the previous matches and missed the mark from a favorable position twice. He has tallied three goals, 18 shots (four on target), and five key passes in three contests. Napoli will visit Genoa on September 16.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores yet again Osimhen scored one goal to go with eight shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Sassuolo.

Impact Osimhen scored the opening goal of the match in the 16th minute. He also completed two dribbles, made two clearances and two tackles but unfortunately missed a big chance. He has scored three goals in two games and has attempted over 20 shots already. In addition to that he has also created two chances. No one has scored more goals than him since the beginning of last season.

Scores twice against Frosinone Osimhen drew one foul and scored two goals to go with five shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win over Frosinone.

Impact Osimhen picked up where he left off with two clinical finishes from inside the box, first with a thunderous shot right under the crossbar and then on a one-on-one with the goalie. He logged 26 goals and four assists last season. Napoli will host Sassuolo next Sunday.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Twists ankle in practice Osimhen was excused from training early due to a right ankle sprain, Napoli announced.

Impact Osimhen will undergo some tests in the next few days, and Napoli will be hoping for a very minor problem since there are less than two weeks before the opener. Giovanni Simeone and Giacomo Raspadori served as his backups last season.
