Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr, has alleviated fears over the fitness of Victor Osimhen after the Napoli striker was knocked unconscious during the final minutes of Sunday’s Italian serie A match at Atalanta.
The 22-year-old was stretchered off the pitch and rushed to hospital in northern Italy after he fell awkwardly and hit his head on the ground, following a collision with Atalanta defender Cristian Romero.
After spending the night under observation and undergone multiple tests, Osimhen returned to Naples on Monday.
Rohr, who is expected to name him in his squad for next month’s crucial final two 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, is hopeful he will return to action soon.
