Victor Osimhen is facing a race to be fit for Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League playoffs second leg clash with Juventus, reports Completesports.com reports.
Osimhen was not included in Galatasaray’s matchday squad for last Saturday’s 2-0 away defeat to Konyaspor.
The Nigeria international sustained a minor knee injury in the build up to the game.

“The training session began with strength training in the gym, followed by an 8 vs 2 drill on the field in two groups. Under the direction of our head coach Okan Buruk, the training concluded with a possession-based exercise and a practice match,” reads a statement on the club’s official website.
“Victor Osimhen worked out in the gym with the regeneration group.”
The 27-year-old provided two assists in Galatasaray’s 5-2 win over Juventus in the first leg.
The forward has scored six goals, and provided two assists in seven outings for the Yellow and Reds in the Champions League this season.

Imqgine if any big epl team had signed him now and put him on that big wage. So this is what they will be dealing with…help them win say wolves today and then when they need you tomorrow against say man city you will not be available… you are in the hospital….smh…
Eeyaaa…..and it was supposed to be Osimhen who will never have peace o.
So sad…!!!
What an irony of life……the one who was supposed to deny another man peace is now the one who can not find peace.
Is God not truly awesome……?!
Isak was bought for about 130 million and the third highest paid in Liverpool behind Van Dyke and Salah who is on 400k weekly.
At this rate Isak may be worst than Andy Caroll @ Liverpool.
He is possibly more injury prone than Osimhen
Had Osimhen had a better media team to do the behind the scene work for him he could have been a red by now.
However, as a Liverpool fan we have to do with Ekitike and hope he stay injury free.
Lmao… which better media team? Even a donald trump presidential media team can not undo the damage already caused…
I mean the fights with finidi, with ikpeba, with napoli fans and coach(Garcia):etc
Lol…No be only red by now…lol…he could have been a purple by now…
Slot should have left him with Newcastle. He’s nowhere near what he did there. And he shouldn’t have sold Luiz Diaz, plus the unfortunate passing of Diogo Jota.
Otherwise, we won’t have pretenders like Arsenal dancing azonto at the top of the league. It’s supposed to be between Liverpool and Man City, exchanging it between them.
