Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti has revealed that Victor Osimhen will start on the bench when they host Legia Warsaw for their Europa League fixture on Thursday.
The Serie A leaders are chasing their first win in Group C having drawn one and lost the other in their opening two games.
In their last group outing against Spartak Moscow, Osimhen came off the bench to score Napoli’s second goal in their 3-2 loss and he also grabbed their match-winning goal in their 1-0 league win over Torino on Sunday.
The Nigeria international has scored eight goals in his last seven games for the club but Spalletti disclosed that he has options to lead his attack against the Group C leaders at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
“Tomorrow I won't let him play from the start, but the boy has athletic qualities that allow him to regenerate immediately,” Spalletti told the club’s website.
