Napoli doctor Gianpaolo Tartaro has explained that the extent of the injury suffered by Victor Osimhen has made the surgery on him far from straightforward, adding the Nigerian will in all likelihood have to wear a special face covering once he returns to action.
“The surgery took three hours, we had to cut him in three places on his face,’ Tartaro explained.
‘We have to now look at a special mask for his case. It is not something banal, there is a nerve there, it is all very difficult. We will see how his situation evolves.’
Osimhen will miss the African Cup of Nations in January and may well have to undergo surgery again if he’s not careful, Tartaro warned.
‘Victor has to be very careful because if there is a problem he must return to the operating room,’ he said.
