Galatasaray, the reigning Turkish Super Lig champions, has issued a fitness update on striker Victor Osimhen following his recent injury while on international duty.
Osimhen, 26, picked up a hamstring injury during Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff final against the Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday, leading to his substitution at the half for Jerome Adams Akor.
Upon his return to Turkey, the player underwent an MRI scan. The club’s official statement, released Wednesday, detailed the findings: “In the MRI examination… a moderate level of strain (strain and bleeding) was detected in his left posterior muscle, and treatment has been started.”As a result of the injury, Osimhen is anticipated to be unavailable for Galatasaray’s match against Gençlerbirliği this Saturday
