Napoli and
Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen will undergo an MRI scan to determine the extent
of the injury he suffered in his country's 2-2 draw in a friendly with Saudi
Arabia, his national team said.
Osimhen left
the game in the 55th minute at the Portimao stadium in Portugal.
Super Eagles
coach Jose Peseiro said Osimhen will undergo a scan and is likely to miss
Monday's friendly against Mozambique also in Portugal.
"We
don't have to play him again whatever the outcome of the scan," Peseiro
said in an interview posted on social media by the Nigerian team.
Osimhen has
six goals in Serie A this season and was the league's top scorer as Napoli won
the title last season. Before Napoli, he played in clubs in Germany and France.
