Subsequent reports from Victor Osimhen’s disappointing injury against Stuttgart have rubbished accusations that the striker faked an injury to avoid Super Eagles duty. Recall that the forward is currently set for an extended spell on the sidelines, with his recovery from a recent knee operation expected to take up to five weeks.
The 27-year-old sustained the injury during Galatasaray’s 2-0 UEFA Champions League victory over Stuttgart on November 3.
Initial assessments suggested a three-week layoff, but new developments indicate a more complicated rehabilitation process.
According to a Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük, who provided an update on the situation via the 343 Digital YouTube channel, doctors removed a loose fragment from Osimhen’s left knee during a successful operation on November 7.
His words, “His condition will be clearer in 10 days.
Due to that detached fragment, it seems that Osimhen’s return to the field will take up to five weeks.”
