In a recent interview with Turkish publication Fanatik, Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen discussed the long-term effects of the facial injury he suffered in 2021, explaining why he still wears his protective mask four years later. The 26-year-old stated that the nerve damage from the incident still affects his everyday life, especially his ability to eat.I just eat on the right side of my face now,” he remarked. “I am unable to eat through the other side.” The left side is no longer operating correctly. Osimhen was hurt when he collided with Milan Škriniar, a defender, during a Serie A match between Napoli and Inter Milan in November 2021. He had several facial fractures from the hit, including a broken cheekbone and eye socket, which necessitated reconstructive surgery with a titanium plate and eighteen screws.
