Legit.ng reports that Victor, known for his signature black mask has been since suffering a catastrophic facial injury while at Napoli.

The injury, received during a collision with Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar, necessitated surgery and the insertion of six plates and 18 screws into Osimhen's face.

Since then, the mask has become a regular fixture for the Nigerian striker, providing him protection as he continues his successful career.

The Süper Lig striker who was recently hosted in the home of media personality Daddy Freeze granted an interview where he spoke about his facial issues.

He revealed that when he had the facial fracture, the doctor offered him surgery, but he refused because he didn’t want to distort his looks.

The second option was for the medical practitioners to get through his jaw to bring out the fragments of bones, which were replaced with iron plates.

Daddy Freeze, who was perplexed by the revelation, went on to feel Osimhen’s face and screamed in confirmation about what he touched.
