Obi posted another picture in which he was seen lying on a hospital bed with his thumb up while wearing a big smile to confirm that he was okay.

He captioned the picture with “All good”, adding a thumbs-up emoji and ending the caption with “#PostOp”.

At the time of writing, the former Nigerian star has not revealed why he decided to undergo surgery and his fitness status. Obi was last seen at a public event between June 8 and 9 when he attended the 2024 Soccer Aid at Chelsea’s home ground, Stamford Bridge.
