Braga Vs Napoli: Braga coach not concerned about 40-year-old defender marking Osimhen

40-year-old defender marking Osimhen? No Problem - Braga coach ahead of Champions League clash

Braga boss Artur Jorge has revealed he will not be overly concerned with Napoli star man Victor Osimhen when the two teams face off in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

Victor Osimhen is expected to lead Napoli's charge in the UEFA Champions League and their first test is a talented and fearless Sporting Braga side.

Braga head coach Artur Jorge was fielding questions ahead of the game, with particular emphasis on the threat Osimhen poses.

Can Jose Fonte stop Osimhen?

Veteran defender Jose Fonte will be the man tasked with stopping the Nigerian forward and given Fonte's advancing age, he turns 40 in December, Braga fans are worried about that prospect.

In the pre-match presser, Jorge was asked about the face-off between Fonte and Osimhen.

The reporter asked how an almost 40-year-old Fonte could be expected to deal with Osimhen, to which Jorge replied:

" My main concern is how the Napoli defenders will stop Banza, Abel, Djalo and Bruma."

Osimhen will be looking to add to his tally of 7 Champions League goals as he aims to surpass Obafemi Martins' tally of 9.
