(Reuters) - Key striker Victor Osimhen is not guaranteed to start Napoli's Champions League match against Real Madrid on Wednesday, despite his return to Serie A at the weekend, new coach Walter Mazzarri said on Tuesday.

Osimhen made his comeback in Saturday's 2-1 win at Atalanta after a month out with a thigh injury but Mazzarri, who returned to the club for his second spell in charge this month, replacing Rudi Garcia, said he was still concerned about the Nigerian.
