Why Osimhen has trained separately at Napoli for two days

Wantaway Napoli striker Victor Osimhen trained separately for the second consecutive day, according to reports.

The 25-year-old is reportedly battling muscle fatigue and has been training separately in the gym on Sunday and Monday to get into good shape ahead of the new season.

Despite links to a move away from the club this summer, Napoli boss Antonio Conte has been impressed with Osimhen's attitude and professionalism during training sessions.

"We're talking about Victor as a professional, an excellent, top player. I spoke to him, and he knows that absolutely nothing has changed. He belongs to Napoli, and he knows that those who belong to Napoli have to work hard and have the right attitude."

Napoli is currently waiting for offers for their most valuable asset, with Osimhen's release clause set at around €130 million following his contract extension last December.

The reigning African Player of the Year has been linked to Premier League clubs Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal, as well as French champions Paris Saint-Germain, who are also reportedly interested in his services.
