Napoli Starman Victor Osimhen is set to return to action against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

There were concerns surrounding Osimhen's fitness ahead of the tie after the 24-year-old was substituted in Napoli's 2-0 win away at Sassuolo in the Serie A last Friday in what looked like a calf injury.

Despite the concerns, the Super Eagles striker has been named in Napoli's squad for their round of 16 first-leg clash against the Bundesliga side.

According to reports, Osimhen also trained with the group before they jetted out to Frankfurt on Monday night.

Despite his blistering form in Serie A, Osimhen has managed just a single goal in the UEFA Champions League this season - his only UCL goal came against Ajax in the group phase.
