Victor Osimhen, an attacker for the Super Eagles, has talked about his near-death incident during Napoli’s 2021 Serie A match against Inter Milan.
In an interview with Daddy Freeze, he disclosed that following the incident with Skriniar, every bone on his face was fractured.
Speaking of the accident with Škriniar, he stated, “Every bone on my face was broken.” The Nigerian forward needed immediate surgery after the incident because he suffered significant fractures to his cheekbone and eye socket.
The attacker has continued to wear a protective face mask during games and has been absent from football for weeks.
When their goalie grabbed me, I realized I was still alive even if I was looking blank. He described the injuries as being close to death. “I had no idea the injury was so severe.
Then, instead of doing an MRI, they performed an X-ray. When the doctor arrived, he told me that I needed surgery as soon as possible.
According to Osimhen, “he said they will go through my jaw and I cannot hit there for the rest of my life.” He responded, “If you get the same hit again, you’re done,” when I asked him what the danger was of not wearing the masks.
Despite interest from teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus, and Galatasaray, Osimhen has not yet chosen his future destination.
