During Napoli's recent victory against Atalanta, Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker, drew attention for playing without his protective mask.
The thrilling Serie A clash witnessed Napoli securing a hard-fought 2-1 win against their formidable opponents on Saturday.
The match unfolded with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia initially putting Napoli in the lead during the first half. However, Atalanta's Ademola Lookman leveled the score in the second half, setting the stage for an intense showdown.
Osimhen, recuperating from a hamstring injury, commenced the game from the bench due to his recent recovery. His absence from the field stemmed from sustaining the hamstring injury while representing Nigeria during international duty the previous month. Despite this setback, Osimhen made a pivotal entrance in the 64th minute, displaying his prowess by creating an assist for Elmas in the 79th minute, further solidifying Napoli's victory.
Fans expressed enthusiasm witnessing Osimhen's mask-free appearance, interpreting it as a positive sign of his progress. Notably, Osimhen had been consistently wearing the face mask since enduring a skull fracture two seasons ago, making this unmasked performance a significant milestone in his recovery journey.
