Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen is set for possible surgery after fracturing his arm during the club’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg on Wednesday.
A club statement on Thursday confirmed that Osimhen’s injury was diagnosed following hospital examinations.
The incident occurred early in the match when Osimhen collided with Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté during an aerial duel. Konaté landed on Osimhen’s arm, leaving the Nigerian forward in visible pain.
While some Liverpool players suggested Osimhen was exaggerating the injury to disrupt their momentum, the striker continued to play the first half with his forearm wrapped in a bandage before being substituted at the start of the second half.
Liverpool went on to dominate and secure a 4-0 win, eliminating the Turkish side from the Champions League.
