Modern medicine works wonders - this can boldly be stated by "Galatasaray" defender Omar Elabdellaoui. In 2020, on New Year's Eve, fireworks exploded near O. Elabdellaoui, taking away the Norwegian's vision. It took 11 surgeries to restore vision to this "Galatasaray" defender. Fortunately, the surgeries were successful and O. Elabdellaoui managed to make a successful comeback to the field. In yesterday's "Super Lig" match against "Goztepe", "Galatasaray" defender started the match in the starting lineup after a 423-day break. And with Norwegian O. Elabdellaoui, Istanbul team managed to win away - 3:2.
