Sees red against Roma Osimhen was sent off in the 86th minute of Saturday's loss against Roma, having received two yellow cards resulting in a red card.
Impact Osimhen will not be an option for the club's next match against Monza on Friday, having received a red card against Roma after seeing two yellow cards within 13 minutes of each other. This will be a significant loss for Napoli, with the Nigerian being the club's top goal scorer. We will most likely see Giovanni Simeone come into the starting XI against Monza with Osimhen out, with Matteo Politano also being suspended for that match due to receiving a straight red card against Roma as well. Osihmen will next be available against Torino on Jan. 7.

Unlucky in Juventus bout Osimhen drew four fouls, won eight duels, and had one clearance and one chance created in Friday's 0-1 defeat against Juventus.
Impact Osimhen didn't put up many stats but still fared better than in his latest showings, as he had perfectly set up Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with a square ball, but his teammate botched his shot, and found the target with a tidy finish late, but he was offside. He has yet to score in four games since coming back from injury, where he has logged one assist, four shots (zero on target), and two chances created. Napoli will host Braga in the Champions League on Tuesday and then Cagliari next Saturday.
