Turkey: ‘Wounded Osimhen more dangerous than fit one’ – Şener

Football commentator Ertem Şener has warned opposing teams that Victor Osimhen could be even more dangerous when playing through injury, describing the Nigerian striker as a wounded lion.

Şener praised Osimhen’s resilience, pointing to the injuries and metal screws in his facial bones, which have not stopped him from scoring goals.

“If Osimhen is injured, I’m even more afraid of a wounded lion. The guy has 50 screws in his facial bones and still scores goals,” Şener said, as quoted by ENO Sports.

He also questioned whether a foot injury would significantly affect the striker’s value, given his determination and ability to perform despite physical challenges.

“What difference would 30 screws in his foot make? If Galatasaray tried to sell Osimhen in his current, chronic state, they would get 100 million euros,” he added.

Şener further insisted that Osimhen’s injury problems should not define him or make him appear physically unreliable.

“Osimhen’s transfer fee in his acute state is 100 million euros. The guy isn’t a walking injury,” he stated.
