Osimhen has already started four of the five possible games since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations and will start against Torino despite Napoli's midweek engagement with Barcelona
Nigerian strikers Victor Osimhen and David Okereke will face off when Napoli and Torino lock horns in this weekend’s Serie A action.
Napoli's Lineup
Napoli, under the guidance of new coach Francesco Calzona, have enjoyed a solid start to their Serie A campaign, accumulating seven points in three matches. Despite facing some injury concerns with Cyril Ngonge and Jens Cajuste sidelined, Calzona is expected to field a strong lineup against Torino.
Osimhen, who has been in fine form for Napoli, is set to lead the attack alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Matteo Politano is likely to feature in midfield, while defenders Amir Rrahmani, Mario Rui, and Mathias Olivera are all vying for starting spots.
Torino's Challenge
Torino, on the other hand, have struggled in recent league outings, earning just one point in their last three matches. Coach Ivan Juric faces several selection headaches due to injuries and suspensions within the squad.
With Ivan Ilic, Matteo Lovato, Perr Schuurs, Adrien Tameze, and Samuele Ricci all unavailable, Torino will need to rely on their remaining players to step up. David Okereke is expected to replace Antonio Sanabria in the attack, aiming to provide the goalscoring threat that Torino desperately need.
Anticipation for Napoli vs Torino
As both teams prepare to take to the field, anticipation is high for what promises to be an intriguing encounter. Napoli will be looking to maintain their positive momentum under Calzona's leadership, while Torino will be eager to bounce back from their recent struggles and secure a much-needed result.
With key players like Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia leading the charge for Napoli, and Okereke hoping to make an impact for Torino, all eyes will be on the attacking prowess of both sides.
With Napoli and Torino set to battle it out on the pitch, football fans can expect an exciting matchup filled with drama and intensity. As the clock ticks closer to kickoff, the stage is set for a thrilling contest between two Serie A rivals hungry for victory.
