Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo is confident that his team can still put up a good performance against AC Milan in the Champions League quarter-final clash despite the absence of their top scorer, Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian forward has been ruled out of the first leg due to a muscle injury sustained on international duty.
The Italian Serie A leaders suffered a 4-0 defeat against AC Milan last month, and concerns have been raised that they may suffer a similar fate without Osimhen. However, Di Lorenzo believes that the team has the strength in depth to cope without their star striker.
While acknowledging Osimhen’s importance to the team, Di Lorenzo emphasized that Napoli does not depend solely on one player. He expressed confidence in the available players and believes that they can still perform well and secure a favorable result at San Siro.
Napoli will be looking to bounce back from their heavy defeat to AC Milan in the league last month and will be aiming to secure a positive result in the first leg of the quarter-final. The match is set to be a tough encounter, with both teams eager to advance to the semi-finals of the competition.
