Raspadori has delivered for SSC Napoli in the absence of Nigeria's Victor Osimhen and will lead the line against Union Berlin.

Italian champions SSC Napoli will kick off the second half of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League, UCL, season without Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.

Napoli will host Union Berlin in search of a first win of the season at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, with Osimhen set to be the notable absentee.

Osimhen out for Napoli
The 24-year-old has been out of action since the last international break with Nigeria in Portugal.

Osimhen limped out in the thrilling 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia and has not featured for Napoli since he scored against Fiorentina back on October 8th.

The Nigerian forward picked up a hamstring injury and has missed Napoli’s last four matches across all competitions.

Nigeria Super Eagles man, who is not expected back until after the international break in November, will miss his fifth consecutive match when Napoli welcome Union Berlin on Wednesday night in the UCL.
