Osimhen reportedly brings new COVID-19 variant to Italy

Victor Osimhen's party that he celebrated in Nigeria without any type of safety measures is going to cause more problems than expected for the 22-year-old Napoli striker.

After the controversial images of Osimhen celebrating his birthday without a mask in his motherland were leaked, Napoli confirmed the positive of their player.

The striker got infected at the birthday party during Christmas, but not just any virus, but a COVID-19 variant that hadn't been registered in Italy until now.

It is the B.1.525 variant, a new coronavirus variant that has reportedly been isolated in Napoli thanks to the work of the Pascale and Federico II hospitals and which, curiously, has reportedly been carried to Italy by Osimhen himself.

That is what the information from 'Il Napolista' says, although this is sensitive data that cannot be officially confirmed due to data protection law.
