Injured Odemwingie Confirms Successful Surgery

Stoke City striker Osaze Odmwingie has confirmed he has undergone a successful surgery on his injured knee.

The Nigeria international, 33, has waited for over three weeks for swellings on the affected region to subside so the surgery could be carried out, which he finally did.

He tweeted: “Heard we won and @muniesa92 scored twice! What a day and win !! More good news for us Potters as my surgery today also went well !”
