Osimhen sheds more light on face mask
Osimhen disclosed that he had multiple facial fractures during a match which led to screws being infused inside his face.
Osimhen said wearing the mask helps protect his face even though it doesn’t do the job perfectly as he once had blood over his face despite wearing the mask.
A goalkeeper had hit his face and although he wore the mask, the hit still caused an injury on one side of his face.
He went ahead to declare that he would always wear the mask for the rest of his career.

“The last match I played I had blood in my face. The goalkeeper hit my face and there was blood. Even with the mask. So it’s too dangerous for me to go out without using it so I have to keep on using it for the rest of my career.”
