Without Osimhen, Napoli still strong – Rudi Garcia

Rudi Garcia, the manager of Serie A winner Napoli, has bragged that his team still has a strong assault despite being without their lynchpin striker Victor Osimhen due to injury.

Osimhen suffered a thigh injury while representing Nigeria internationally last week; he will be out for around a month.

In his absence, the Partenopei defeated Hellas Verona 3-1 on Saturday.

Hirving Lozano and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia both scored goals for Napoli during the match.

Garcia stated that Napoli is fortunate to have talented attackers.

“Jack’ (Raspadori) is good at tying the team together and gives us the opportunity to balance the midfield,” Garcia told DAZN.

“We are lucky to have Victor Osimhen, Raspadori, and Giovanni Simeone in this squad. It is better not to have any injuries, but I was calm because I know that we still have a lot of quality in the attack.”

Osimhen has scored six goals in 10 appearances across all competitions for Napoli this season.
