Galatasaray have confirmed that Victor Osimhen sustained an injury while on international duty with Nigeria.
Osimhen was replaced by Sevilla striker Adams Akor during half-time of the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup African playoffs final against the Democratic Republic of Congo in Rabat on Sunday. Upon his return to Turkey, the striker assured that the injury is not serious. Galatasaray confirmed that the forward underwent an MRI examination at the club’s hospital on Wednesday.
The Turkish Super Lig champions also stated that the former Napoli player has commenced treatment for the injury.
“Our player Victor Osimhen has been diagnosed with a moderate level of strain (strain and bleeding) in his left posterior muscle, and treatment has begun,” reads a statement on the club’s official website.
The 26-year-old is now expected to miss Okan Buruk’s side’s Turkish Super Lig clash with Gençlerbirliği this weekend.
