Osimhen not at his best yet after more than 90 days of inactivity – Napoli manager Gattuso

Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso has revealed Victor Osimhen is far from his best after featuring against Atalanta in a Coppa Italia game on Wednesday night.

The Nigeria international was handed a starting role in the encounter but struggled to make much impact despite playing for 79 minutes as his side suffered a 3-1 loss in the game.

Osimhen only recently returned to the Parthenopeans team after suffering a shoulder injury while on international duty with Nigeria in November.
