Turkish club Galatasaray has confirmed that Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has undergone successful wrist surgery.
Osimhen picked up the injury last week during Galatasaray’s 4-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash.
Following the injury, the striker briefly returned to Nigeria for five days before heading back to Turkey on Sunday for the procedure, which the club confirmed in a statement on its official website.
“Our player Victor Osimhen, who was injured and unable to continue playing in our away match against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, underwent a successful operation today at Maslak Acıbadem Hospital, performed by our club doctor, Op. Dr. Yener İnce,” the report read.
“We send our best wishes to our player and hope he returns to the pitch as soon as possible.”
While the exact duration of his recovery remains unclear, there are speculations that the 27-year-old forward could be sidelined for between three and four months.
