Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray have provided an update on their injured striker Victor Osimhen, Completesports.com reports.
Osimhen copped an injury while on international duty with Nigeria last weekend.
The 26-year-old was replaced by Cyriel Dessers in the 35th minute of the Super Eagles 1-0 victory over the Amavubi of Rwanda.
The injury ruled the powerful striker out of Nigeria’s crucial clash with South Africa slated for tonight at the Toyota Stadium, Bloemfontein.
According to a statement on the club’s official website, sprained his ankle, and is currently undergoing treatment.
“In the examinations performed today at our sponsor hospital for our Football A Team player Victor Osimhen, a moderate sprain (stretching and bleeding) was detected in his ankle ligaments and the necessary treatment has been initiated in order for our football player to return to the field as soon as possible,” reads the statement.
Galatasaray will return to league action against Eyupspor this weekend.
Okan Buruk’s side will start their UEFA Champions League campaign with an away game against Eintracht Frankfurt next week.

Is there no governing body that punish any referee that’s bias while officiating?
The referee that officiate the match was so biased. Despite the fact that Nigeria goalkeeper told him that Rwanda players had plans to take out key players in the match the referee turned deaf ears. Nwabali discovered the plan after the second failed attempts on him by Rwanda players but Osimhen fell for it
The referee was so evil and biased to the point that he neither penalize the Rwanda player nor reward Nigeria with free kick.
Nigerian football fans are too quiet. The same referee can’t try all these rubbish in Ghana and other African countries.
Up till now NFF still keep quiet on the attacks as usual.
This guy is just faking his injury…he is never passionate about this country… I am not surprised because he sold his soul for money instead of for greatness or even both… He prefers to stay fit for his club side where he is being paid well than for him to get injured playing for a country that pays him peanuts or even nothing….those were all tricks…so he can be withdrawn and avoid getting injured…come next week now you will see him flying up n Dan the pitch for Galatasaray… These are all plan by osimhen and Galatasaray….just watch next week….
lol Osimhen lives rent free in your head.
You well so? Abi your lateral prefrontal cortex hasn’t finished developing. Which kind mumu talk be all this one?
Osimhen is SE most dedicated, rugged and passionate player on and off the pitch. I wish Iwobi can just be as rugged as him but they are not ‘cut from the same cloth’.
Kindly put an end to that your yeye talk on this forum and put all the time and energy you are using to beef Osimhen to something that will benefit your life.
Person wey you dey rant about him matter everyday for here no know you and no send ya papa. Stop wasting your energy abeg.
Nah advice me I dey try advise you nah, I no get time and energy engaging in insult with mkpuru mmiri infested mind like you.
It is disheartening to witness how the pursuit of transient escapism has eroded your reasoning faculty. When others are talking about sports related ideas and opinions, it is you and your likes that will be unfortunately indulging and over shadows the chance of meaningful discussions on development.
Mumu, change your way, and be a good person. The world is not that bad, it is people like you wey too much for this world.
I will not reply you again but please be a good person and engage in sports related discussions going forward.
