Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has tested positive for coronavirus, his Italian club confirmed on Friday evening.
The Nigeria international returned to Naples on Thursday having been away to Lagos for the yuletide break.
On arrival, the former Lille and Royal Charleroi star was subjected to the compulsory Covid-19 PCR test and it was disclosed that Osimhen posted a positive result.
Fortunately, he had not met with any member of Gennaro Gattuso’s squad, and he is now set to remain in quarantine for some days.
“Napoli report that footballer Victor Osimhen tested positive for the molecular naso-pharyngeum swab on his return from abroad yesterday afternoon. The player is asymptomatic and has not met the team group,” the club posted on Twitter.
