Manager of the Italian Serie A side Napoli, Luciano Spalleti has described Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as irreplaceable, BSNsports.com.ng can report

The Partnopei will be without the Nigeria forward for 3 months after he sustained a facial injury in a league game against the champion Inter Milan.

It been a tough week for the Partenopei, who lost both in Serie A to Inter and the Europa League away to Spartak Moscow.

Lorenzo Insigne and Fabian Ruiz are back in the side and ready to start, but Osimhen is harder to fill in for.

“Osimhen is a unique player, as he has all the qualities and characteristics of a great striker, he just needs to refine his technique.

In terms of technique and positioning, Mertens rarely gets it wrong, but if he has to sprint for 70 metres or go for a header, it’s not going to be the same thing," he stated.
