Super Eagles and Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has been fined two weeks’ wages by Napoli for flouting the club’s COVID-19 regulations.

Napoli announced on Friday that Osimhen had contracted coronavirus.

A video of the Nigerian posted on Instagram by @equipoarrow where he was seen partying without a face mask and not observing social distancing has reportedly angered his club coach, Gennaro Gattuso.

In the video, Osimhen was also seen spraying the musician N500 notes.

“Victor Osimhen will be fined for not respecting the club’s regulations,” a tweet from SCC Napoli reads.

“The birthday videos showing people without face masks and not social distancing has angered the club and Gattuso.”

Osimhen, who joined Napoli in the summer for a record fee from Lille, has scored twice in six games for the club.
