Turkish side Galatasaray, on Monday, announced that Super Eagles forward Victor Olorunfemi has undergone surgery following the hand injury he suffered in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 match against Liverpool last week.

Osimhen only managed to play the first half of the game at Anfield before he was subbed off after fracturing his hand during a challenge with Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate.

In a statement on Monday, Galatasaray confirmed that the club’s doctor, Yener ?nce, successfully operated on the 27-year-old to repair his hand at Maslak Ac?badem Hospital.

“In the away match we played against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, our player Victor Osimhen, who was injured and unable to continue the game, underwent a successful operation today at Maslak Ac?badem Hospital performed by our club doctor Op. Dr. Yener ?nce,” the Galatasaray said.

The club added that it “extend our wishes for a speedy recovery to our footballer and hope for his return to the field at the earliest.”

Galatasaray would hope that Osimhen recovers in time to help the reigning Turkish champions in their fight with Fenerbahce to retain the league title.
