Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen has undergone surgery to repair a fractured right forearm, the Turkish club confirmed. The Nigeria international suffered the injury during their 4-0 loss to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 at Anfield last week. Osimhen was unable to continue playing after sustaining the injury, which was later diagnosed as a fracture.
The surgery was performed by Galatasaray's club doctor, Op. Dr. Yener İnce, at Maslak Acıbadem Hospital. According to the club's statement, Osimhen is expected to miss around four weeks of action, a significant blow to the team's chances in the remainder of the Champions League campaign. The 27-year-old has been in impressive form this season, scoring 19 goals and providing seven assists in 29 appearances across all competitions.
The extent of Osimhen's absence will be keenly felt by Galatasaray, who will need to find a way to compensate for the loss of their star striker. Osimhen's injury has dealt a significant blow to the team's title hopes, and they will need to regroup quickly to salvage what is left of their season.
