Osimhen, Chukwueze Make Serie A Team of The Week

Nigerian football stars Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze have been honored by the Serie A with spots in the Team of the Week. The recognition comes after both players starred for their respective clubs in matches played over the weekend. Osimhen netted twice for Napoli, while Chukwueze assisted two goals for Villarreal.

Osimhen, who netted a bullet header to spark Napoli comeback last weekend, got his place as the striker up front with compatriot Chukwueze on the right side of the attack in the WhoScored.com team.

Despite not scoring, Chukwueze grabbed an assist and created five chances for his Milan side that crushed Lecce 3-0.

Chukwueze is one of six AC Milan players on that team, with Raphael Leao, Calabria, Theo Hernandez, Adli and goalkeeper Mike Maignan, while Osimhen was the only Napoli player selected.

Other players on the team also include Juventus and Roma defenders Gatti and Diego Llorente, alongside Duvan Zapata.
