He is back: Osimhen returns to the pitch three weeks after suffering a nasty injury

The Nigerian international picked up a nasty facial injury in the Neapolitans game against the Serie A champions last month, but he has made a return earlier than scheduled 

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is back on the pitch for the first time since he suffered a left cheekbone and orbital fracture in Napoli’s Serie A clash against Inter Milan on November 21.

Osimhen suffered the nasty facial injury after colliding with Inter’s defender Milan Skriniar. The 22-year-old went through a successful but complicated surgery and was ruled out for three months.

However, Osimhen has made a swift recovery three weeks after the surgery as he was spotted on the training pitch for the first time since the injury.
