Osimhen

Galatasaray are sweating on the fitness of Victor Osimhen after the striker suffered a fractured right forearm during Wednesday night’s UEFA Champions League clash at Liverpool.

The injury forced the Super Eagles star off the pitch at halftime as the Turkish champions fell 4-0, crashing out of the tournament 4-1 on aggregate.

In an official press statement, Galatasaray confirmed that Osimhen’s arm has been placed in a cast. While the initial stabilization is complete, the club’s medical team is currently debating whether the 27-year-old requires surgery.A final decision will be made following further evaluations once Osimhen returns from a brief hiatus. The club reportedly granted the super Eagles ace a few days off during the international break, which the striker is spending in Lagos. He was spotted on social media driving through the city in his exotic car collection, enjoying some downtime before his re-examination in Istanbul. Nation
