Galatasaray SK will make a final decision on whether Victor Osimhen requires surgery after the forward sustained an arm injury during Wednesday night’s clash against Liverpool FC at Anfield, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Nigerian striker picked up the injury early in the encounter and was withdrawn after the break, with his absence felt as the Turkish champions fell to a heavy 4–0 defeat. The result confirmed their exit from the UEFA Champions League with a 4–1 aggregate loss.
In an official statement, Galatasaray confirmed that Osimhen suffered a serious blow to his arm in the first half and was prevented from continuing due to concerns over a possible fracture.
Further medical examinations carried out after the match confirmed that the striker had indeed fractured his right forearm, with a cast immediately applied.
The club added that a decision on whether Osimhen will undergo surgery will be taken in the coming days following additional medical assessments.
The injury represents a significant setback for both the player and the club, especially at a crucial stage of the season where his goals and attacking presence have been vital.
