Galatasaray have been dealt a blow following reports that Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen will be sidelined for several upcoming matches, according to Turkish outlet Haberler.com.
The Turkish Super Lig champions are now preparing to navigate their upcoming fixtures without the Nigerian international, whose anticipated return date has been outlined following the setback.
The development comes as a concern for both club and country, with Osimhen being a central figure in Galatasaray's attack during the ongoing campaign. The forward joined the Istanbul giants on loan from Italian side Napoli, making an immediate impact with his performances across domestic and European competitions.
Osimhen, who was crowned the 2023 African Footballer of the Year after firing Napoli to the Serie A title, has established himself as one of the most prolific strikers in world football. His form remains crucial for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, where he leads the line as the national team's primary goal threat.
Supporters and team officials will be watching closely as the striker begins his recovery, with the club hoping to welcome him back to full fitness as soon as the scheduled rehabilitation period is complete.
