Osimhen apologises for ‘accidentally’ hitting girl during warm-up

Napoli forward Victor Osimhen climbed through the crowd to apologise to a young girl after unintentionally hitting her with a ball during his warm-up against Spezia, Daily Mail reports.

But when the striker tried to return to the pitch to rejoin his teammates, fans surrounded the in-form goal-scorer, desperate to take selfies with him.

Footage emerged on Sunday showing Osimhen climbing up the seats towards the young fan, before giving her a heartfelt hug.

As he made his way back to continue his warm-up, the Nigerian struggled to exit the crowd, with footage showing fans holding on to the striker by the arm.
