Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti has revealed that star forward Victor Osimhen will be ready for the return leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie with AC Milan.
The Nigerian forward has been out with a muscle injury since last month while on international duty with the Super Eagles.
He has missed three games since then including Tuesday’s first leg clash with the Rossoneri which ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Partenopei.

It was Napoli’s third loss in their last six competitive games (W3) and Osimhen’s return will be a welcome boost as they look to reverse the deficit at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona next week.
“Victor Osimhen will 100% be available for the return leg at Maradona on Tuesday. He will be there,” Spalletti said after the game.
Osimhen’s return will also be important as Napoli look to seal a first Serie A title in 33 years with nine games left to wrap up the season.
The 24-year-old is the Italian top-flight top score this season with 21 goals in 23 appearances.
