Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has opened up about the life-threatening facial injury he suffered during a 2021 Serie A clash between Napoli and Inter Milan.
Speaking in a recent interview with Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze, Osimhen recalled the brutal collision at the San Siro.
It was a game against Inter Milan in San Siro, he said. My teammates crossed the ball, so I wanted to head the ball and the guy was bringing his own head and hit my face. All the bones on my face were broken.
The clash with Inter defender Milan kriniar left Osimhen with multiple fractures to his cheekbone and eye socket, requiring immediate surgery.
The striker described losing consciousness momentarily after the impact.
