Osimhen who was expected to be out for at least ninety days to enable him recover from the surgery has however resumed training on defying odds Wednesday, Napoli tweeted.
“Osimhen’s injury was not just a simple fracture to the cheekbone, as it involved many other bones in his face.
“It wasn’t an impact injury, it was one of compression. The kinetic force generated by the crushing of Osimhen’s face against the back of Skriniar’s head did devastating damage.
“In order to repair the fractures, I had to insert six plaques and up to 18 screws,” Gianpaolo Tartaro, the surgeon had said.
Confirming his return, Osimhen thanked his fans and expressed optimism for better games.
“Thankful To GOD,I Sincerely Appreciate Those Who Reached Out To Me,God Bless You And Yours…No Time To Dwell On Past Transgressions,Looking Forward To The Greater Things Ahead..God Is The Greatest..We Move,” Mr Osimhen tweeted.
