 Victor Osimhen could have gone eyeless- Surgeon who operated on his multiple facial fractures reveals 

 Italian surgeon who operated on Victor Osimhen's multiple facial fractures has revealed that the Nigerian and Napoli forward ‘ could ’ve lost his sight ’ in the horror accident. 

 In November 2021, the Nigeria transnational was involved in a clash of heads with Inter protector Milan Skriniar at San Siro that left him with shocking injuries. 

 Osimhen had surgery that involved placing six pillars and 18 screws into his face to repair the damage, which included multiple fractures to the cheekbone and orbital bone. 

 It ruled him out for over two months and he returned with the use of a defensive mask that he continues to use to this day, indeed though technically it's no longer needed. 

 “ The orbital bone stopped just in time, because Osimhen could indeed have lost his sight, ” Professor Gianpaolo Tartaro told Radio CRC. 

 “ That bone could indeed have caused other problems, but fortunately, some factors helped us and the eye was suitable to go back into its socket. ” 

 There are suggestions that Osimhen could need further surgery to remove the six pillars and 18 screws in future, but the professor who performed the operation assures that wo n’t be necessary however. 

 “ The pillars don't need to be removed unless there's an critical need, for illustration, they develop an infection. The titanium could alter anx-ray, but I do n’t suppose Osimhen wants them removed. 

 “ When we performed the surgery, we used the stylish quality pillars in the world and had to study veritably precisely where to place them, so there was protection should the player have to head the ball. ” 

 “ He seems to play indeed better than he did ahead, it gives him security. He has come world- class and amazing player. ”
