Napoli is cautiously optimistic about the return of Victor Osimhen as they await medical clearance from their doctors ahead of this weekend’s league clash against Atalanta. The 24-year-old striker suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty last month, causing him to miss Napoli’s last six games in all competitions.

Having resumed partial training last week, Osimhen is on the verge of making his comeback, providing a glimmer of hope for Napoli’s upcoming fixture against Atalanta on Saturday. The club’s medical team is now intensifying efforts to ensure Osimhen’s recovery over the next two days in preparation for the crucial match at the Gewiss Stadium.

Osimhen, who has netted six goals in eight league appearances for the Partenopei this season, holds a key role in Napoli’s attacking prowess. His return would undoubtedly bolster the team’s offensive capabilities and provide a significant boost as they aim to secure a positive result against Atalanta.

In a recent development, Napoli appointed Walter Mazzarri on a short-term contract last week following the dismissal of Rudi Garcia. The managerial change adds an extra layer of anticipation and curiosity surrounding Napoli’s performance in the upcoming games.

However, the Parthenopeans find themselves in a bit of a slump, having gone without a victory in their last two outings across all competitions. The combination of Osimhen’s potential return and the recent managerial shake-up creates an intriguing narrative for Napoli as they strive to get back to winning ways and make a statement against Atalanta.
