Alert in Naples: Osimhen lost his iconic mask!

Not only Victor Osimhen plays the best football of his career, not only did he scored 25 goals in Serie A so far, but he also had used a potentially terrible injury to his favor, becoming famous for his iconic Zoro-like mask. After colliding with Inter defender Milan Skriniar at San Siro in 2021, the Nigerian striker required ‘six plaques and 18 screws’ to repair the damage and he missed two months of action and the African Cup of Nations. When he came back, he had to wear the protective mask for some time, but he continued to do so, even after the doctors cleared him from any danger. He feels more relaxed with the mask on, and it’s kind of talisman for him too. And now he lost it!Victor Osimhen is taking Napoli to their first Serie A title since Maradona won it 💙 pic.twitter.com/1DJlT4xsYS— GOAL (@goal) March 19, 2023 Italian media are reporting that after returning from Nigeria and the AFCON qualifying matches, Osimhen realized that he somehow lost his iconic mask. And since he plays with more confidence with the mask, and it’s a special one, made just for him, he immediately ordered a new one, hoping it will arrive on time for Napoli’s derby match with Milan on Sunday. With 19 points ahead of second placed Lazio, the Neapolitans could be closer to a title with a win over fourth placed reigning champion Milan and the Nigerian needs his mask back.“I haven’t needed it for a long time, but I will keep wearing it because it’s a good luck charm. It’s also part of my look at this point. The fans seem to like it, as they are coming up with anything with it: cakes, drinks, even sushi. It’s one further manifestation of their affection toward me, as they constantly do during matches” said Osimhen recently.Osimhen’s price is bigger after every scored goalAccording to Corriere del Mezzogiorno, the Nigerian contacted the pharmaceutical company that produced his mask after arriving from Africa, and their representatives will visit the Castel Volturno training center Saturday. It’ll be a race against the clock for it to be ready for Sunday night. However, the striker still possesses an old version of it. He should turn to it rather than going without protection against the Rossoneri. His surgeon recently explained the severity of his injury in 2021.“He seems to play even better with the mask than he did before, it gives him security. He has become world class. The orbital bone stopped just in time, because Osimhen could even have lost his sight. That bone could indeed have caused other problems, but fortunately some factors helped us and the eye was able to go back into its socket” Professor Gianpaolo Tartaro told Radio CRC.SERIE A – ROUND 28Saturday16:00: (5.70) Cremonese (3.80) Atalanta (1.70)19:00: (1.75) Inter (3.80) Fiorentina (5.20)21:45: (1.47) Juventus (4.10) Verona (7.75)Sunday13:30: (2.25) Bologna (3.30) Udinese (3.30)16:00: (3.80) Monza (3.30) Lazio (2.05)16:00: (2.35) Spezia (3.20) Salernitana (3.20)19:00: (1.48) Roma (4.40) Sampdoria (8.00)21:45: (1.80) Napoli (3.50) Milan (4.70)Monday19:30: (2.45) Empoli (3.15) Lecce (3.35)21:45: (2.45) Sassuolo (3.20) Torino (3.00)***odds are subject to change***
