Napoli came out on top of a nerve-shredding Serie A fixture against newly-promoted Venezia on Sunday night. Luciano Spalletti marked his managerial debut at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with a 2-0 victory, but it took his side a lot of suffering to overcome the stubborn visitors.
Victor Osimhen’s agent William D’Avila believes the managerial change at Napoli will help his client thrive in his second Serie A season. The Nigeria international experienced a somewhat torrid maiden campaign at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona under Gennaro Gattuso.
Victor Osimhen remains hospitalized to monitor his conditions, but he is doing better after passing out on the pitch as the back of his head forcefully bounced off the ground in the final minutes of the Atalanta game. He is expected to be discharged today, but the timetable for his return is up in the air.
Paulo Dybala will be sidelined for 15/20 days because of a low degree lesion of the medial collateral ligament in the left knee, thus missing the upcoming clash with Inter and January 20th’s Supercoppa against Napoli, while Weston McKennie and Federico Chiesa avoided serious injuries.
Napoli have struck gold after beating several European heavyweights to the signature of Victor Osimhen - a striker who is rapidly developing into a serial goal scorer, as this player analysis will show. We believe that Osimhen's arrival in Napoli could finally help the Partenopei boast that free-scoring striker they have been craving for a long time.
