Victor Osimhen is reportedly facing the possibility of a fine from Napoli due to his outburst after being substituted during the match against Bologna.
Osimhen, who played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A title victory last season, expressed his displeasure when he was taken off just four minutes before the end of a goalless draw.
Earlier in the game, he had missed a penalty that could have secured a victory for Rudi Garcia’s team.
On camera, Osimhen was seen venting his frustration towards Garcia after seeing his jersey number held up.
The 24-year-old striker believed that Napoli should have opted for two forwards while pushing for a late-winning goal.
Garcia has chosen to keep the details of their heated exchange private.
However, reports from Il Mattino suggest that Napoli’s club captain, Giovanni di Lorenzo, has been tasked with addressing Osimhen’s behaviour.
It’s also been mentioned that the African star may face a fine as a consequence of his touchline outburst.
Napoli is determined to assert that no player is exempt from adhering to the team’s discipline or from questioning the decisions made by head coach Garcia.
Osimhen will have this reinforced during a meeting with Di Lorenzo, scheduled to take place at the club’s training ground on Monday.
