Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis is delighted with Victor Osimhen's medical reports which certified the player fit to return to full activity in the Italian Serie A.

Osimhen was ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations after he had 18 screws inserted in his cheekbone to address the horrendous facial injury he suffered in the 3-2 defeat against Inter Milan.

The Nigerian striker sustained fractures to his cheekbone and eye socket after colliding with Inter defender Milan Skriniar and was sidelined for a spell on the sideline.

He was then treated for various fractures by surgeon Gianpaolo Tartaro who identified the complications owing to the crushing of his eye socket, due to the curving of the malar bone which was practically destroyed. 

But www. Calcio today.it reported on Wednesday that the 22-year-old has been certified fit by Gianpaolo to wear a new mask ahead of Saturday's clash against Venezia, and the club's chieftain is excited about the good news

Osimhen has scored nine goals in 14 appearances for Napoli this season, and his return from injury is a big boost for Luciano Spalletti's men in their quest to win the Scudetto this season.
