Will Victor Osimhen Need Surgery for Surgery after Arm Injury- Galatasaray Provide Update
Galatasaray have confirmed that Victor Osimhen suffered a broken forearm during their UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool on Wednesday.
The Turkish side travelled to Anfield with a 1-0 advantage from the first leg and needed only a solid performance to qualify. However, things quickly went wrong when Osimhen picked up an injury early in the game.
Although he received treatment and returned to continue the match, the striker was clearly struggling. He could not move freely and was unable to play his usual strong attacking role. He was later taken off at half-time.
Without their key forward, Galatasaray were heavily beaten 4-0, ending their Champions League journey.
After the match, the club confirmed that Osimhen suffered a fracture in his right forearm. He has already been treated and his arm placed in a cast, while doctors will decide in the coming days if he needs surgery.
The club also revealed that Noa Lang picked up a serious cut on his thumb during the second half and will undergo an operation.
Osimhen is now expected to be out for several weeks, which is a big setback for Galatasaray as they continue their push for the league title and the domestic cup. Both the player and the club will be hoping he recovers quickly and returns before the end of the season.
