Napoli fans in Italy have been thrown into a state of tension following the news that the Naples striker, Victor Osimhen, has lost his ‘magical’, facemask.
The facemask has become an object of superstition among fans of the club who are currently leading the Serie A, as many believe that the mask is a sign of goodluck for the league’s top scorer.
It would be recalled that the lanky Nigerian forward was made to start using the face mask based on medical advice after a serious injury to his head in November 2021.
According to the report, the Eagles forward lost the mask while returning to Italy after Nigeria’s 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier March 27.
However, according to Calciomercato, “… the orthopaedic staff who built the mask will work to design a new one and deliver it to the player as soon as possible. It won’t be ready by Sunday when the match against Milan takes place and Osimhen will have to use the old mask there.”
