The former Lille star suffered during Nigeria’s 4-4 draw with Sierra Leone in Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game.
Osimhen could not complete the game after he suffered a dislocated shoulder and was replaced by Genk’s forward Paul Onuachu.
The 21-year-old was allowed to return to Napoli following the injury and missed Nigeria’s second meeting with the Leone Stars in Freetown on Tuesday.
It's been gathered that Osimhen underwent tests on his arrival at Stadio San Paolo to confirm the nature of his injury and has started treatment.
“Victor Osimhen underwent tests in Rome on Wednesday which confirmed that he has suffered a dislocated shoulder,” read a statement from the club website.
“The player has already begun physiotherapy on the injury and will be reassessed on a daily basis.”
It is yet to be seen if the forward will recover enough to feature in his side’s next league game against AC Milan on Sunday.
