The injury woes for Victor Osimhen continues for the Nigerian whi is expected to be out for at least one month, Napoli doctor Alfredo Bucciero, who is attending to Victor Osimhen. 

It's been gathered the former Lille forward will be out of action until early March after suffering head trauma against Atalanta on Sunday.

If you recall that the 22-year-old was unconscious as he was rushed to hospital after colliding with Cristian Romero and hitting his head on the turf in the Serie A game.

“He suffered head trauma with memory loss,” explained neurosurgeon Alfredo Bucciero to Radio Kiss Kiss.

“Now the medical tests are showing good results, but we still need to wait for the natural recovery time to be completed.

“We don’t have signs of a haematoma on the brain, nor damage to the skullcap. We must be cautious, he needs at least a week of complete rest.

“I think he could be available again from early March. Osimhen is in a rush, he wants to play and asks me to hurry up the process, but in these situations, rest is necessary. We cannot run any risks.”
