Victor Osimhen has revealed that he can only eat through his right cheek following the facial injury he sustained when he was at Napoli.
Osimhen suffered a fracture to the cheekbone on the left side of his face in a Serie A fixture between Inter Milan and Napoli at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.
Osimhen smacked his face on Milan Skriniar’s head while the duo contested for a ball in the air in Inter Milan’s box.
The injury left the striker on the sidelines for a while, and he returned with protective gear after successful surgery in a Milan hospital.
While speaking in a recent podcast, Osimhen said he can no longer eat on the right side of his mouth.
He also added that initially, he opted out of doing surgery after the injury until he was convinced by the doctors that there was no other option if he wanted to continue his career.
Osimhen’s protective gear has since become part of kits more than three years after the injury.
