If Napoli is the revelation of the Serie A this season, than Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are revelations in Napoli team this season. The deadly duo is the main reason the Neapolitans are so strong this season and are on the brink of the first Italian title since Maradona’s 1990 team. The Nigerian striker was once again on the score sheet in last week’s away win in Empoli and it was his 19th goal in 20 league games. But everything could have been a lot different, and for the worse, after a horror tackle in 2021.Victor Osimhen’s numbers though 🗣️🇳🇬 pic.twitter.com/D9cQoHHlDS— SuperSport Football ⚽️ (@SSFootball) February 21, 2023 Back then, Osimhen clashed heads with Inter defender Milan Skriniar at San Siro and received shocking injuries. Nigeria striker required ‘six plaques and 18 screws’ to repair the damage and he missed two months of action and the African Cup of Nations. He came back just fine, and is in a life-form this season, but still wears a protective mask, even thou he doesn’t need to. And the doctor who operated him revealed that the injuries he suffered could have left him blind.“He seems to play even better with the mask than he did before, it gives him security. He has become world class. The orbital bone stopped just in time, because Osimhen could even have lost his sight. That bone could indeed have caused other problems, but fortunately some factors helped us and the eye was able to go back into its socket” Professor Gianpaolo Tartaro told Radio CRC.We are running out of headline ideas for these lot – as per usual, Osimhen scores and Napoli winSome reports suggest that further operations will be needed for the Nigerian, but his doctor admitted that it could happen, but only in certain situation.“The plaques do not need to be removed unless there is an urgent need, for example they develop an infection. The titanium could alter an X-Ray, but I don’t think Osimhen wants them removed. When we performed the surgery, we used the best quality plaques in the world and had to study very carefully where to place them, so there was protection should the player have to head the ball” said Tartaro.##NAJAVA_MECA_7059939##
