<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">In Napoli&#8217;s Serie A match against Inter Milan on November 21, Osimhen suffered a left cheekbone and orbital fracture.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">After that, the 22-year-old underwent a successful but difficult surgery.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">The operating doctor, Gianpaolo Tartaro, described how and what had to be done to fix the Nigerian striker&#8217;s major facial injuries after the successful surgery.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">The striker&#8217;s &#8216;devastating&#8217; damage required six plaques and 18 screws,&#8217; according to the surgeon.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">The surgeon in charge noted that Osimhen’s injury was not just a simple fracture to the cheekbone, as it involved many other bones in his face.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">While estimates suggested Osimhen would be out for up to 90 days, &#8216;The Lion,&#8217; as he is known by some of his supporters, has returned to training in just over two weeks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;">Napoli has also confirmed Osimhen’s return to training on their Twitter handle on Wednesday.</span></p>
