Osimhen set to wear protective arm gear following surgery.

Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen is poised to utilize a specialized forearm protective splint upon his return to play, following a successful operation on a fractured right forearm. 

The 27-year-old athlete incurred the injury during a UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool on March 18, 2026, as a result of a collision with defender Ibrahima Konaté.

This new equipment is a custom-designed apparatus aimed at ensuring maximum protection throughout his recovery period.
  It is intended to immobilize both the forearm and wrist, thereby supporting the bone during the healing process, alleviating pain, and preventing any further injury from physical contact.
  The splint features adjustable straps for compression and breathable padding to enhance comfort during high-intensity games.
This arm protection will be worn in conjunction with his now-famous protective face mask, which he has been using since undergoing facial surgery in 2021. Osimhen's return is being meticulously overseen by the Galatasaray medical staff:
 The surgery was successfully conducted on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, by club physician Dr. Yener İnce at Maslak Acıbadem Hospital. He is anticipated to be out of action for roughly six weeks—four weeks for the bone to heal and an additional two weeks to achieve full match fitness.
Reports indicate a possible return for the Istanbul derby against Fenerbahçe on April 26, 2026, at the earliest.
Prior to the injury, Osimhen was in exceptional form, spearheading Galatasaray's offense with 12 goals in the Süper Lig and 7 goals in the Champions League.
