“But to be able to stand up without using the stretcher, walk out of the pitch on my own, then I knew that it was something I could handle.


“For me, as I got to the hospital, I told my doctor that I would be out for two weeks maximum.

“I have like 18 screws under my jaw. I went through a lot.
“A lot of sleepless nights. I could not sleep, I could not eat with the pain.

“But at the end of the day, I am a lion, and I know the kind of mentality I have.

“In my mind, I had already scheduled my return following the surgery,” Osimhen added.
