Why I Have To Wear Mask For The Rest Of My Football Career – Osimhen Reveals
Osimhen has revealed that he will have to wear a mask for the rest of his career for safety reasons.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen, has revealed that he will have to wear a mask for the rest of his career for safety reasons.
VerseNews leart that Osimhen suffered a nasty facial injury, in a clash of heads with Milan Skriniar during a Serie A game between Napoli and Inter Milan on November 21, 2021.
He returned from the injury with a protective mask that has now become a sort of trademark such that it has become popular among the Azzurri fans.
Speaking in an interview with Brilla FM, Osimhen who is currently on national duty with the Super Eagles at the African Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Ivory Coast, said it is dangerous for him to play without his mask.
He said even with the mask he got a bloody face after the opposition’s goalkeeper hit his face the last match he played against Cagliari.
“I have to wear the mask for the rest of my career because I have screws that actually pass through my jaws and face. I still have them till now,” he said.
“The last match I played against Cagliari — when I headed the ball, I had blood on my face, and the goalkeeper also hit my face, and there was blood that was even with the mask on.
“So it is really dangerous for me to play without using the mask, of course.”
