His chances of recovering in time for Napoli's match against Atalanta on November 25 appear to be slim at this point.
He is anticipated to be out for at least another month because the team does not want to take any chances by making him return sooner than planned.
Despite Napoli's sluggish start to the season, Osimhen has maintained his form, scoring six goals in his first eight Serie A games.
Rudi Garcia will be without his top striker Osimhen for many weeks as he remains sidelined due to an injury.
