Super Eagles star set to miss about two weeks due to injury.

Super Eagles ace Victor Osimhen has suffered another injury and is expected to miss at least three games for Galatasaray. 

The 25-year-old has been excellent for the Cim-Bom this season, with 10 goals and five assists in all competitions. However, he could have had even more, but for injuries that have limited him to only 13 games.

Fresh injury for Osimhen 

The Lagos-born striker was among the goals when Galatasaray beat Sivasspor to maintain their healthy lead at the top of the Super Lig standings. 

He, however, had to be substituted in the 74th minute due to injury. He has since undergone tests, and now, Galatasaray can confirm that he is injured and currently ruled out of action.

“Victor Osimhen underwent an MRI examination which revealed a moderate strain and bleeding in the right posterior upper muscle group. Treatment for our player has been initiated.”

According to Turkish publication Ntvspor, it is estimated that the Nigerian will miss up to two weeks of action. This effectively rules him out of the Europa League clash against Malmo on Thursday and Super Lig matches against Trabzonspor and Kayserispor.
