I couldn’t eat and sleep but I’m a lion – Osimhen narrates injury ordeal

The Tremendous Eagles ahead clashed heads with Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar final season and suffered an harm that stored him out longer than he’d anticipated

Victor Osimhen has narrated his harm ordeal and mentioned it was a tricky interval for his profession and no person understood what he was going by way of.

The ahead who got here again to turn into a lynchpin within the Napoli workforce had a maxillofacial surgical procedure that led to his face having many screws as many facial bones had been fractured.

“That harm I had towards Inter Milan was like a near-death harm. I’m the one one which felt it, and I can solely discuss how I felt as a result of it was my face and physique,” Osimhen informed Wazobia FM per Objective. 

Osimhen missed out on what may have been his second AFCON on account of the harm regardless of setting a return date for himself.

“When the scan got here out, I fractured many bones, which they needed to take away and repair inside once more,” Osimhen continued.

“I’ve like 18 screws below my jaw. I went by way of quite a bit. Loads of sleepless nights. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat with the ache. However on the finish of the day, I’m a lion, and I do know the sort of mentality I’ve.

“In my thoughts, I had already scheduled my return following the surgical procedure.”
