Bad news for Napoli: Osimhen out of action for Milan clash

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis gave bad news to the Italian club. He confirmed that Victor Osimhen will miss the Champions League quarter-final first leg against AC Milan.

The 73-year-old confirmed this in an interview with 'Repubblica': "Osimhen cannot play against Milan. We hope he will recover for the second leg," he said.

Three days earlier, Napoli will take on Hellas Verona at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium for their Serie A matchday 30 fixture.

Luciano Spalletti hopes to have Osimhen available for the next Italian league match. The coach wants him to be fit for the second leg and book their ticket to the next round of the Champions League.
