Napoli president De Laurentiis admits Osimhen risks missing Champions League quarterfinal

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis admits Victor Osimhen risks missing their Champions League quarterfinal against AC Milan.

Osimhen suffered a thigh injury while away with Nigeria this week.

He is definitely out of Sunday's Serie A clash with Milan and could also miss the Champions League tie.

“He should be out for a couple of weeks, we hope," said ADL.

“These are games where any result could happen, you can never know. Milan have some great players, they too are missing someone, and we hope it will be a balanced, entertaining match for the two sets of fans. This is what football should bring us.

“It is ridiculous playing the same team three times in a month, especially if you are in Europe and want to measure yourself up to the best on the continent. It would've been better if Milan and Napoli had played someone else, but unfortunately until we change UEFA, we'll all be slaves to the Ministry of Football."
