Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, returned to training with Napoli on Tuesday, after coach Luciano Spalletti sent him off during a training session on Monday.
The Napoli boss told Osimhen to “take a shower” during a training session at their Castel di Sangro preseason camp.
The 23-year-old was angered by a poor tackle from Napoli’s new signing Leo Ostigard.
The Nigerian striker’s unreserved complaints prompted Spalletti to send him out of training.
However, according to CalcioNapoli as per Gazzetta dello Sport, Osimhen has resumed training, and Napoli boss Spalletti quelled the tension in the team by speaking to the players.

Osimhen was all smiles during training, which lays to rest but means that there is peace in camp.
The Partenopeans have already played two games in the preseason, emphatically beating Anaunia and Perugia.
Napoli play tomorrow against Adana Demirspor. And Osimhen would look to outdo compatriot Henry Onyekuru, who just joined the Turkish side this summer.
Meanwhile, Osimhen has been urged to turn a new leaf.
According to Football Italia, the footage doing rounds on social media and which has already gone viral, shows an open training session at the Castel di Sangro camp in full view of the supporters in attendance.
In the video, Osimhen was seen ranting towards new teammate Leo Ostigard, allegedly complaining about a foul he had committed on him.

Osimhen is seen being calmed down by Cameroon international Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa but he continued to rant.
At this point, Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti is forced to intervene, walking straight to Osimhen and ordering the player to leave the pitch. Spalletti is said to have uttered: “You are talking too much, go and have a shower.”
“I fear for him,” Sesan Deji opened the debate on the GOAL Africa Facebook page, adding: “His ego and lack of discipline may hurt him down. He should learn from Mario Balotelli.”
Temi-demi Sagay said: “This guy needs our prayer, he might just destroy his career,” while Edos Pele Eddyson wrote:
“This is the problem of our Nigeria players, just small fame body go and they start misbehaving, humility and endurance like Messi and Ronaldo help them reach where they are today. Be calm bro.”
“This guy need to be very careful the way he do things,” explained Olayode Solomon, adding: “He might end up ruining his career by himself if care is not taken,” while Abdulganiyu Fahad quipped: “That’s very bad and unprofessional of him.”
Napoli will kick off the new season with an away game against Verona at Marcantonio Bentegodi on August 15.
