Galatasaray's Nigerian forward #45 Victor Osimhen (R) receives medical treatment during the UEFA Champions League, round of 16 second leg football match between Liverpool and Galatasaray at Anfield in Liverpool, north-west England. AFP
His club said in a statement after Wednesday's game that Osimhen took a knock on his right arm during the first half at Anfield. He remained on the pitch until halftime but could not resume after the interval due to a suspected fracture.
“After the match, a hospital examination, under the supervision of our medical team, confirmed a fracture of the right forearm, and a cast was applied,” Galatasaray said. “A decision regarding a possible surgical procedure will be made in the coming days after further tests.”
Liverpool overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit to set up a quarterfinal against trophy holder Paris Saint-Germain.
