Gennaro Gattuso the coach of Italian Serie A side Napoli is unhappy with the recovery of club record signing Victor Osimhen who is out injured with a shoulder injury.

Osimhen picked up the injury while on international duty with Nigeria on the 13th of November after falling awkwardly during the Super Eagles 4-4 draw against Sierra Leone.

He was expected to be back in action in a month time but that date appears to have been pegged backwards with recent reports suggesting he could be out till next year.

Speaking after his team 0-2 loss to Lazio , Gattuso said it’s frustrating not to have the Nigerian who was expected to lead the line for the team this season.

“ We have other players in his position but we know why we brought him in for that amount of money. The idea of the team with him is why he is here but he is injured so we can’t play that way. It’s frustrating and I’m unhappy with the speed of his recovery but it’s normal for us to rely on our doctors”, he said.
