The 24-year-old was back in action against Hellas Verona last Saturday.

“He (Osimhen) gave that burst of enthusiasm that our fans rightly attribute to him by now and he immediately showed that he was in the game,”Spalletti told Radio Kiss Kiss ahead of the clash against AC Milan.

“He needed these 25 minutes of running to be ready to play on Tuesday. It’s clear that we will also see the players in training.”

Osimhen has scored four goals in five appearances for the Partenopei in the Champions League this season.
