Osimhen’s eye comes out of socket, needs more surgery, special mask

Gianolo Tartaro, Victor Osimhen’s surgeon, has revealed more of the player’s condition after his face injury during Serie A game against Inter Milan last weekend.

According to the surgeon, the player actually fractured a socket in a collision with Milan Skriniar, but it was more complicated than that.

He warned Osimhen may not play in the upcoming African Cup of Nations in Cameroon because he has to go through another surgery.

“The eye came out of its socket. It is not simple at all. In fact it is very delicate due to the crushing of the socket, due to the curving of the malar bone [which is] practically destroyed,” Tartaro said in an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport.

“We have to now look at a special mask for his case.”
