Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen has made a shocking revelation.

He said: “I have to wear the mask for the rest of my career because I have screws that actually pass through my jaws and face. I still have them till now.”

“The last match I played against Cagliari – when I headed the ball, I had blood on my face, and the goalkeeper also hit my face, and there was blood that was even with the mask on.”

“So it is really dangerous for me to play without using the mask, of course.”

For those who don’t know, Osimhen suffered the facial injury in a clash of heads with Milan’s Skriniar during a Serie A game between Napoli and Inter Milan on November 21, 2021.

Osimhen started using the protective face mask after he returned from the injury.
