Osimhen Set To Make History With Ultra-modern Protective Mask
News Hub Creator
SSC Napoli of Italy striker, Victor Osimhen is bound to make history later this month as the first player to wear an ultra-modern protective face mask in an Italian Serie A match.

This is sequel to updated information out of The Land of The Azzurri, where the medical crew at Napoli have given Osimhen clearance to resume training with his team next week.

This means a reversal of an earlier verdict that the Super Eagles' youngster would be out for three months, thereby ruling him out of next year's Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

However, Eagles' coach, Gernot Rohr has already included Osimhen as a standby player in his provisional list for the upcoming AFCON, which starts on January 9, and the Franco-German tactician will surely be excited with the news out of Naples.

This means Osimhen could also become the first Nigerian player to wear a protective face mask at the contintenal soccer showpiece, once he gets to launch it in Serie A action.

Hope is rising high in that direction, as top shots at Napoli are now looking at the possibility of the in-form lad playing in their last match of the year, wearing the new protective mask that will be made of 3D components.

The mask, which has been recommend by Napoli's medical chief, Rafaelle Canonica, after 18 surgical screws inserted into Osimhen's cheekbone were removed on Thursday, is also expected to be custom-made.

The hyper-realistic 3D printed face mask, which is also reportedly eight times as effective as an N95 version, using software and Formlab component, will come with a headband and clear plastic sheet in front.

A report by Italian newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport added: "The carbon mask to be supported on the player's forehead, so as not to press on the eyebrow.

"A mask that will be made with a 3D printer, on the cast of the centre forward's face."

I don't believe this is true Sha

Make he shun am joor. His team needs him a lot now. Plus no guarantee he will be a starter at the afcon. E better make he dey useful than useless.

Going by your submission with this experience stuff, which ex player should we recall to come give their experience to this team?

Guy Rohr left experience when he joined super eagles and used an Iheanacho and Iwobi to beat Zambia. If you dont try them they dont get this 'experience' you're shouting about.

Ujah like other SE strikers wasn't really tried with the SE because there was an Obagoal, the Uche brothers were scoring for fun, so was Yak and Joseph Akpala. He was never a flop, he didnt get game time cos most of the strike force were on form.

If they are good enough, call them, try and test them so they gather this experience. Football has moved from your experience to technicality and expertise (how to read game, change formation, strategy). This is the reason I don't buy this experience talk.

If Nigeria can introduce more than 15 rookies and won the AFCON then you should know she can still do it again with a sound coach.

If Dennis and Awo are in the form of their life, it's up to them to decline the invitation not because there are players who are experienced (Simon) and can't even perform when called upon. Experience no be everything my brother.

let's allow our coaches do their job,in Nigeria everybody is a Coach The coach knows when to introduce new players. Do you want to know what inexperience can do to a team? Watch Barcelona

I also think he should avoid been a part of offensive corner kicks for a while

I dont remember telling you when to invite players. My grudge is the talk of experience (quantity) ahead of form (quality). If Keshi can achieve with players who're of less quality to this present team then this team has zero excuse.

Rookies and newbies beat finalist (CIV) of the previous AFCON deservedly well. So leave this thing you're saying, if you have quality you'd win games and tournaments not with experience. Even if the quality is local, try them out and do away with quantity. When Germany retired Muller and Boateng for newbies who died?

Why you no say make I watch Spanish, Denmark, English NT Even recently na small boys from Spain beat Italy. Carpenters from CAR beat us

The fastest way to get injured is to play like u don't want to be injured. What happened was a freak accident. It had nothing to do with his playing style. U would expect ur tall striker to try to win an header.

The teams you are called are not doing well because they are inexperienced. Experienced team in Europe are ruling Europe today they are Portugal, France and Italy. The 2013 squad that won AFCON the on inexperienced players in the the were Omeruo and Onazi, others have been playing professionally for years

Until he’s fully healed
There’s a scare that he might go in for another surgery
Particularly if not healed properly

Number one this is a fake news

And number 2 when should be his time ?

I guess ighalo is Blocking him

If I can say ighalo is not needed that’s reality

The love wey I get for ighalo no be here

zuchyblink:
ponder on this
Flash in the pan.
Flatter to deceive
Experience is the best teacher
The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know
You don't change a winning team
Club form doesn't translate to national team form. Most times introduction of new players is a gradual process. You don't overhaul a department of a team few months to a major tournament because some rookies are scoring goals. There was a time Ujah was scoring week in week out in the Bundesliga but he flopped in GWG, same way Onuachu is flopping in GWG. Stop judging players by the league they play. These players outperformed our best in these positions in international football: Ali Maloul better than Celestine Babayaro,Weal Gomaa was better than Uche Okechukwu and Taribo, Rainford Kalaba,Ahmed Hassan and Aboutrika did better than JJ Okocha and Kanu,El hadry was better than Enyeama,Hossam Hassan was better than Rashidi Yekini,Moteab and Amr Zaki was better than Obafemi and Ik Uche,the list goes on. These players were based in Africa while our European based guys were banging in goals in Europe but could not replicate back home. Football is beyond what you see with your eyes. Awoniyi and Denis's time will come may this AFCON or post AFCON

What experience did Pele have at 17 years before he led Brazil to win the World Cup?

Why experience did Mbappe have before he led France to win the World Cup?

forgiveness:


What experience did Pele had at 17 years before he led Brazil to win the World Cup?

He was part of the team that won the world cup. He didn't LEAD them.... No coach has achieved greatness with inexperienced players

Pele carried that 1958 team. Read your history he led them to that trophy vs Sweden.

Same with Mbappe at the last WC. Mbappe was a fulcrum to that squad.

Form over experience anytime anyday. Integrate them and let them blend in

They should be integrated post AFCON with friendlies if they don't make the team to Cameroon

Either ways. What experience did he have before he was included in the squad at 17 years old?

What experience did Mbappe have before he the World Cup?

So Osimhen would wear mask like Rudiger did.

Denis and Awoniyi are riped for the CF position but Rohr is sticking to the tested Osimehn, Ighalo and Iheanacho. Dennis and awoniyi's time will come

They are not better.

Napoli had half of their starting lineup out for today's game. For Inter game, Osimhen got injured. They have been having injury problems recently.
