Nigeria’s talisman Victor Osimhen has touched down in Lagos for an emergency recovery break after suffering a fractured forearm during Galatasaray’s brutal Champions League exit at Anfield.

The “Masked Assassin” was forced off at halftime following a heavy collision with Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté. While his teammates headed back to Istanbul following their 4-0 drubbing, Osimhen opted for home soil to begin his healing process.

The injury officially rules Osimhen out of Nigeria’s upcoming friendlies against Iran and Jordan in Antalya. Coach Eric Chelle has already signaled that Akor Adams and Paul Onuachu will be tasked with filling the massive void left by the reigning African star.
