Inter Milan defender, Milan Skriniar, has wished Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, quick recovery after his successful cheekbone injury.
Skriniar and Osimhen had a collision of heads in Napoli’s 3-2 loss to the champions in the Italian Serie A on Sunday, their first defeat of the season.
Osimhen contested a header with the Slovak defender but the Nigerian came off worse from the challenge breaking his cheekbone and eye socket, which he has undergone surgery for.
The injury rules the Nigerian out of action for the next three months which will also see him miss out on Nigeria’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Cameroon next year.
