Having picked up a knock during the match with Liverpool, the Nigerian striker did not take part in the team session. Instead, he followed an individual program, working separately under the supervision of the medical staff.

Osimhen’s availability for the derby has become the main talking point within the coaching staff. A starter against Liverpool, the former Napoli striker lasted 72 minutes before he was forced off due to cramps.
