Victor Osimhen has confirmed he will undergo surgery after suffering a fractured arm, with the Galatasaray striker expected to be out for up to six weeks.

The Super Eagles forward revealed the extent of the injury during a live session with Nigerian content creator Carter Efe, where he explained that an operation is necessary for proper healing.

“I need to go under the knife,” Osimhen said. “That means I have to do surgery because my arm is broken. It will take about five to six weeks. Six weeks at most, and I will be back.”

He also spoke about his recovery plan, noting that the process will be gradual. “Most times it is four weeks, then two weeks of training alone to regain fitness before joining the team,” he added.

The injury happened during Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield. Osimhen was hurt in the first half after a strong challenge involving defender Ibrahima Konaté, leaving him in clear pain.

Medical checks after the game confirmed a fracture in his right forearm.

Phoenix Suns vs. Toronto Raptors Preview

The Suns suffered a 108-105 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Their defense has struggled in the absence of Dillon Brooks, who is out with a fractured left hand. Devin Booker was off his game against the Bucks as he finished with 14 points on 4 of 17 shooting.

Jalen Green stepped up his game in a failed attempt to save a sinking ship. He finished with 24 points. The Suns will have to find a way to get back their groove without Brooks on the floor.

The Raptors, on the other hand, faced a 121-115 loss to the Denver Nuggets. They dominated the Nuggets in the first and the third quarter, but their inconsistency got the best of them. They will need to work on getting their offense and defense consistent in all quarters.
