The Nigerian international underwent surgery last Monday morning after sustaining an arm injury during a Champions League clash against Liverpool earlier this month

Initial plans indicated he would be discharged the following day, but Turkish journalist Haluk Yürekli revealed that the striker personally requested to remain under medical supervision.

According to Yürekli, Osimhen informed club officials of his preference to continue treatment in the hospital, believing it would aid a faster recovery. The request was granted, with tight security reportedly maintained around his room during his stay.

“He did not want to be discharged immediately and asked for his care to continue in hospital so he could return sooner,” Yürekli stated, noting that even close family members had restricted access during the recovery period.
