Spalletti: We'll do everything to shorten Osimhen's recovery times

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti revealed Victor Osimhen could return to the pitch earlier than initially expected. ‘We will do everything possible to shorten the recovery times’, BSNSports.com.ng gathered.   Osimhen was forced to go under the knife after colliding with Inter’s Milan Skriniar in a Serie A game that fractured his cheekbone.   The Nigeria international trained separately after undergoing facial surgery and could return before initially expected with a protective mask.   Spalletti admitted Napoli are doing ‘everything possible’ to shorten the striker’s recovery times.   “It will depend on the stresses he will have day after day,” Spalletti said. “We will see in the gym how he will react and based on what we will understand.   “We are very confident, knowing the lad. He is one who gives willingness to shorten a few days, everything possible will be done.”   Osimhen has scored nine goals in 14 matches across all competitions for the Parthenopeans this season.
