Napoli decides on Osimhen's penalty after Garcia dispute
Posted : 26 September 2023
Napoli has opted against fining striker Victor Osimhen after his visible frustration during their recent Serie A match against Bologna.
Despite a challenging game for the current Serie A holders, in which Osimhen narrowly missed scoring on several occasions, tensions flared when he was substituted for Giovanni Simeone in the 86th minute.
The Nigerian forward was noticeably upset, confronting coach Garcia at the sidelines. While such actions typically warrant disciplinary actions to set a precedent, Osimhen's subsequent apology to both Garcia and his teammates helped defuse the situation.
Sky Sports reported that the team chose to handle the matter internally, emphasizing Osimhen's acknowledgment of his mistake.
Garcia downplayed the incident, emphasizing the importance of squad rotation, especially given their tight match schedule.
As of now, Osimhen has netted three times this Serie A season, with his most recent goal being a month ago against Sassuolo.
