Super Eagles striker, VICTOR OSIMHEN was missing in action as Napoli lost 3-0 to HELLAS VERONA in their first Serie A fixture of the season.

OSIMHEN is expected to leave the club this summer, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain keen on the player.

Reports suggest that ANTONIO CONTE has decided not to use the Nigerian as he awaits the arrival of ROMELU LUKAKU from Chelsea.

During the match, CONTE was forced to take off star midfielder KHVICHA KVARATSKHELIA after he collided with an opposing player before halftime but their problems continued after the break when DAILON LIVRAMENTO slotted in a cross from close range to give the hosts the lead.

In the 75th minute, DANIEL MOSQUERAreceived a through ball and calmly slotted it home to double Verona’s lead, while the latter scored a third goal, allowing MOSQUERA to tap in a close-range pass and complete his brace.
