WHAT DID HE SAY?
Describing the moment of injury in his home country Nigeria, Osimhen said, "The ball was coming, I came in with the defender, my hand was empty, I didn't know he was bringing his knee. My hand was empty, his knee hit my arm. I didn't realize it was broken at first. I thought it would pass before the match ended. When I wanted to run, that thing weighed me down. It felt like my hand was falling off. I tried to push myself, but it didn't work."
A MESSAGE FROM KONATE
The star striker said that after the match, Liverpool players contacted him and that Ibrahima Konate sent a message stating that he had no ill intentions in the incident.
WILL BE OUT FOR 5-6 WEEKS
