The 24-year-old striker suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty last month, causing him to miss Napoli&#8217;s last six games in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Having resumed partial training last week, Osimhen is on the verge of making his comeback, providing a glimmer of hope for Napoli&#8217;s upcoming fixture against Atalanta on Saturday. The club&#8217;s medical team is now intensifying efforts to ensure Osimhen&#8217;s recovery over the next two days in preparation for the crucial match at the Gewiss Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Osimhen, who has netted six goals in eight league appearances for the Partenopei this season, holds a key role in Napoli&#8217;s attacking prowess.
