Al Jazeera
Liverpool came from behind to eliminate Galatasaray from the Champions League but injury for star striker revealed.
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen played with a broken arm during the 4-0 loss at Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League, in an attempt by the striker to prevent his side being eliminated 4-1 on aggregate.
The Nigerian’s international 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.”
Galatasaray led 1-0 following the first leg, but Liverpool were level on aggregate by the break at Anfield, before three quick-fire goals in the second half – rounded off by Mohamed Salah – overcame the deficit and settled the tie.
