Super Eagles Striker, Osimhen, Out of the hospital after Head Injury

Following a clash of heads with an Atlanta player during their Serie A game recently, Super Eagles stiker, Victor Osimhen was rushed to the hospital. However, the Napoli star has been discharged but still under observation by medics.

 

The reports say the star spent the night in Bergamo after suffering the reported head injury in the last minutes of the Partenopei’s 4-2 loss, at the Gewiss Stadium.

Many people were concerned after the Nigerian top striker suffered what appeared the injury, and was rushed to the hospital.

Osimhen didn’t travel back to Campania with his Napoli teammates on Sunday evening. He stayed overnight in the hospital while awaiting test results.

He was discharged yesterday and was free to go home. Osimhen has had his fair share of injury problems already this season, and a positive case of COVID-19 as well.

The centre-forward was afforded his 10th league appearance in the encounter since teaming up with the club last summer.

Osimhen made his contribution as Gennaro Gattuso’s men suffered their second consecutive defeat, after also losing against Granada in the Europa League. With few minutes before the end of the game, the forward collided with Romero and fell awkwardly, hitting the back of his head on the turf before losing consciousness.

Although the club did not state the duration Osimhen would be on the sidelines, the forward will certainly miss Napoli’s second leg round of 32 of their Europa League game against Granada on Thursday.
