After the unfortunate injury he suffered in the UEFA Champions League away match against Liverpool, a fracture was detected in star footballer Victor Osimhen's arm. Having received initial treatment in England, Osimhen later returned to his home country and shared updates regarding his injury during a live broadcast on social media.
Expressing his feelings and health status during the broadcast, Osimhen described his experience with the following words:
"I am no longer a stranger to these types of injuries. I have experienced worse. You know that I currently have metal in my face. I underwent an operation involving about 18 screws in my face, and I still cannot eat with the right side. So, this fracture is just a small thing for me.
"I NEED TO HAVE SURGERY"
I need to have surgery. My arm is broken. A maximum of 5-6 weeks. After my arm was broken, the Liverpool players reached out to me. Konate didn't know this situation was serious. He sent me a message on Instagram. He didn't want to cause harm. Compared to my previous injuries, this is nothing.
The ball was coming, I came with the defender, my hand was free, I didn't know he was bringing his knee, my hand was free, his knee hit my arm. I didn't realize it was broken at first. I thought it would pass before the match ended. When I wanted to run, that thing weighed me down. It felt like my hand was falling off. I tried to push myself, but it didn't work.
Osimhen also touched upon his time at Galatasaray and the interest shown to him by the yellow-red fans. His words, indicating that the successful footballer has formed an emotional bond during this process, are as follows:
"I SAW TRUE LOVE AT GALATASARAY"
I experienced things there (at Galatasaray) that I hadn't experienced before; I saw true love. In football, this love is not always shown to players, but at that club, I felt it both within the club and from fans all over the world. It's more like the club belongs to me than me belonging to the club.
Galatasaray is more than a club to me... It was fate that our paths crossed. The moment you enter that club, you realize this... especially how young players sweat for the jersey, how committed they are to the crest."
