Nigerian and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, has undergone successful surgery for a broken arm sustained in an aerial challenge during a Champions League match against Liverpool last week.

Medical reports indicate a recovery timeline of several weeks, keeping the star forward sidelined but optimistic.

The 27-year-old, a beacon of African pride in global football, was pictured at an airport in Galatasaray kit shortly after the procedure, mask in place from prior facial fractures secured by 18 screws.

His resilience continues to inspire fans worldwide.

As Nigeria’s premier footballer, Osimhen’s journey symbolises unyielding determination amid setbacks.

Galatasaray officials expressed confidence in his comeback, with the club prioritising his full rehabilitation for the remainder of the season.
