Osimhen back in Nigeria to consider surgery after arm fracture
Victor Osimhen has returned to Nigeria following a fractured right forearm sustained during Galatasaray’s Champions League loss to Liverpool. The striker is waiting for the swelling to subside before deciding on surgery. His injury forced him off at half-time, and he could miss several key matches if he undergoes an operation. Despite recent setbacks, Osimhen has contributed significantly to his team this season.
