Victor Osimhen could return in time for Finidi George’s Super Eagles test against South Africa and the Benin Republic in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers billed for June, after he underwent therapy with Napoli physiotherapists yesterday at the SSCN Konami Training Centre.

The Nigerian who trained with his teammates on Monday, as they gear up for Friday's visit to Fiorentina at the Stadio Franchi, was reported to be struggling with a muscle strain and was left to do recovery work.

Yesterday's update from the Serie A defending champion, informed that Osimhen underwent treatment, as he is working to recover after a muscle strain that affected him in recent days, but he’s still in doubt for Friday's match.

The Nigerian striker is in great form, scoring nine goals from the end of February to today. With Bologna he won the penalty, which was then missed by Politano. Calzona would like to have him available for this championship finale.
