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. The club confirmed that, unlike Osimhen, Lang will undergo surgery in Liverpool before returning to Turkey. Before the injury, Osimhen had been Galatasaray’s key performer in the Champions League, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in 10 appearances, earning four man-of-the-match awards.
