It will be recalled that Osimhen tested positive for coronavirus upon his return to Naples.

He had taken part in the surprise party without wearing a protective mask and Napoli have fined the striker

“Before I went to Nigeria, I told my sister that I wouldn’t celebrate my birthday,” Osimhen said

“I was not in the right mood because of my injury.

“On that particular day, I had been asleep for about six hours. When I woke up, my sister asked me to go downstairs.

“If you check what I put on, I was wearing the training jersey. I wouldn’t wear that for my birthday party. I wouldn’t dress so casual.

“I could celebrate my birthday in other ways too, but I wasn’t in a good mood. I went downstairs and they were playing music, gospel.

“I was down there for about 10 minutes before my older brother called me back upstairs. I didn’t throw a party.
