Osimhen Faces Surgery Concerns After Arm Injury at Anfield

Victor Osimhen’s season may be disrupted after the Galatasaray striker suffered a fractured forearm during their Champions League Round of 16 second-leg clash against Liverpool at Anfield.

The injury occurred early in the match following an aerial duel, when Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté accidentally fell onto Osimhen’s arm. Despite the pain, the Super Eagles forward showed resilience and continued playing through the first half with his arm bandaged before being substituted at halftime as a precaution.

Galatasaray later confirmed that medical scans revealed a fracture in Osimhen’s right forearm. While his arm has been immobilized in a cast, the club’s medical team is still assessing whether he will require surgery in the coming days.

The setback is a major blow for Galatasaray, with Osimhen proving to be a key player in their European campaign, scoring seven goals in ten appearances. The situation was further worsened as his replacement, Noa Lang, also sustained a serious thumb injury during the match and is expected to undergo surgery in Liverpool.

Osimhen’s potential absence represents a significant loss for both club and country, interrupting the form of one of the competition’s most in-form attackers this season.
