Galatasaray has confirmed that Victor Osimhen has undergone surgery after sustaining a hand injury during their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash against Liverpool last week.
The Super Eagles striker, who had a quiet first half, was substituted after fracturing his hand in a collision with Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté.
In a statement released on Monday, the club revealed that their team doctor, Yener İnce, successfully carried out the procedure at Maslak Acıbadem Hospital.
“In the away match we played against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, our player Victor Osimhen, who was injured and unable to continue the game, underwent a successful operation today at Maslak Acıbadem Hospital performed by our club doctor, Op. Dr. Yener İnce,” the Galatasaray said.
The club also added that it “extend our wishes for a speedy recovery to our footballer and hope for his return to the field at the earliest.”
Although no official return date was provided, Osimhen is expected to be out of action for up to six weeks.
