The Nigeria international injured the left adductor against Bordeaux and had to be substituted in the 58th minute.

Lille continued their preparations for the visit to the Orange Vélodrome on Thursday and the excellent news is that the Super Eagles star participated in a part of the full training session after undergoing individual training the previous day.

Providing an injury update on Osimhen, Galtier told reporters at today's press conference : ''Victor is operational even though we managed (his physical condition) throughout the week.

''Yesterday, he prepared himself individually. Today it was collective. Tomorrow (Friday) he will do the whole session''.

Osimhen has tallied 8 goals in 14 appearances in all competitions for Lille so far this season.
