Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen talked about a scary accident that almost killed him during a match. The incident happened when Napoli played Inter Milan back in 2021 at San Siro stadium. An Inter Milan defender hit Osimhen hard in the face as he tried to head the ball during the game.
The collision broke every bone in his face according to what he told Daddy Freeze during their interview. Osimhen said he felt completely lost after the hit until the goalkeeper touched him and made him realize he was still alive. The accident left him with serious breaks in his cheekbone and around his eye area.
Doctors had to operate on him right away to fix the damage. They told him the surgery would go through his jaw and warned him never to take another hit like that again. The medical team said another similar impact could end his life completely.
Osimhen stayed away from football for many weeks after the surgery. He still wears a special protective mask when he plays matches to keep his face safe from future injuries. The striker learned just how bad his injuries were after doctors took X-rays and explained the risks.
Many top clubs want to sign Osimhen for their teams. Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus and Galatasaray have all shown interest in bringing him to their squads. The Nigerian forward has not picked his next team despite all the attention from these famous clubs.
