Osimhen ruled out for few weeks following knee surgery

Flying Eagles Star Victor Osimhen has been ruled out for few weeks after he reportedly underwent surgery on a knee problem.

Osimhen signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his German side VFL Wolfsburg earlier this month and was due to make his league debut for the club but the injury he sustained has put paid to that for now.

The new development was confirmed by a top source in Germany, who said: “Victor Osimhen hashad another procedure on his knee today (Wednesday) and will be out for a few weeks. He will then start a rehabilitation programme and slowly be brought back towards the first squad,” he further added.
