Super Eagles and Napoli Victor Osimhen striker, has been discharged from the Ruesch Clinic in Milan, where he underwent a successful facial reconstruction surgery following several fractures to the cheekbone and orbital bone.
The 22-year-old forward has been ruled out for a lengthy 3-month period which spans the duration of the African Nations Cup in Cameroon, and has inadvertently been ruled out from participation in the tournament.
Osimhen suffered many fractures in an aerial collision with Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar in a Serie A match on Sunday, where Napoli suffered their first loss of the current Seria A campaign.
The method for the reconstruction, which required six plaques and up to 18 screws, has been outlined by operating surgeon Gianpaolo Tartaro.
The initial rehabilitation is expected to last at least 90 days, excluding Osimhen from the 2022 Nations Cup, which begins on January 9.
Victor Osimhen was released from the Ruesch Clinic this morning and returned home, according to a statement on Napoli's website.
Osimhen had scored 13 goals in 20 appearances for club and country before his injury.
