Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen will reportedly wear new protective gear on his arm when he returns to action for the club after undergoing surgery for a fracture.
The 27-year-old forward suffered a hand fracture following a collision with Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté during their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash last week.
Following the incident, Osimhen underwent surgery earlier this week, with his recovery projected to take about six weeks. While he is expected to return to the pitch towards the end of the season, he may need to wear special protective gear on the arm.
Turkish journalist Arda Özkurt revealed this via Winner Galatasaray:
“If Victor Osimhen’s treatment process progresses as planned, he can wear the jersey with a special protective splint if needed,” Özkurt was quoted.
