Victor osimhen It is the most expensive signing in the history of Napoli, who spent almost 70 million euros to take over his services. So far, however, the former Lille player has seen very little, with some great performance, two goals and one assist. A shoulder injury suffered with Nigeria has left him out of the green since the beginning of November and now that he was finally available again (after weeks of therapy in Belgium), the coronavirus stopped him again.
The player tested positive for the PCR he underwent as soon as he arrived from Nigeria, and immediately the images of the uncontrolled birthday party he gave in his country last December 29. Osimhen appears among dozens of people dancing and throwing bills on the floor. No one was wearing a mask.
The footballer apologized this afternoon on Instagram, a message that Naples himself also published on his social networks: “I'm sorry for what happened. I was wrong going to Nigeria at this time even though I have many loved ones there, like my brothers. I was wrong participating At the surprise party, I didn't understand the seriousness of what I was doing. I apologize to the club, the coach, the team and the fans. “
Rino Gattuso, partenopei coach, after the victory with Cagliari this afternoon (1-4), commented on the matter in ‘Sky Sport’: “Victor apologized and he knows he did something stupid. We are waiting for him, he is a fundamental player for us.” The coach does not know if the entity will punish the player with a fine, but he announced that his reprimand is undoubtedly awaiting him: “The club will take its measures, I do not decide that. I allowed him to go to Nigeria and he knows I made a fool of him. When I see him I'll tell him what I think. “
