UCL: 'We're prepared' — AC Milan defender tells Osimhen

This is coming from Milan’s centre-back Simon Kjaer ahead of Tuesday's all-important clash in the Champions League quarterfinal.

Kjaer has claimed that the return of the Nigeria international means little as they are adequately prepared to handle him and SSC Napoli.

Both teams clash in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie, with Milan, the visitors at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, leading 1-0 on aggregate.

Algerian superstar Ismael Bennacer was the hero of the first leg after his strike gave the Rossoneri a narrow advantage, with Osimhen absent.

Ahead of the decider in the Champions League last eight later tonight, Osimhen is set to make his return for the runaway Serie A leaders.

The 24-year-old missed the first leg due to a muscle problem he picked up during the international break with the Nigeria Super Eagles.

In his absence, Napoli were spanked by Milan in the League before making it back-to-back wins days later in the Champions League.

He returned at the weekend against Hella Verona in the Serie A and is set to return to Napoli starting eleven later tonight.

However, according to Milan defender, Kjaer, Osimhen’s return means little as they are prepared for him.

“It won’t change much,” the Denmark international said of the Nigerian striker during his pre-match interview with Milan TV, Sempremilan.

“Osimhen is a player with great qualities, very fast and very physical. He had a fantastic season. We prepared for him, but the basis remains the same - we all defend, we all attack.”

Speaking further on the match, the 32-year-old, who could start alongside British-born Nigerian defender, Fikayo Tomori, added that Napoli are a great team but they know they can beat them again.

“We have to be well positioned in the field also for the quality they have,” he added. “We have beaten them in the last two times and we know that tomorrow we can even beat them again. We meet a strong team, but we are Milan.”
