Media Kampung – Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker for Galatasaray, suffered an adductor muscle strain during the club’s 3-2 victory over Istanbul Başakşehir. He was forced to leave the field in the 33rd minute after scoring the opening goal. Medical scans are scheduled in the coming days to assess the severity.
The injury means Osimhen will be unavailable for Galatasaray’s upcoming UEFA Champions League group match against Sporting Lisbon, as well as the next two Turkish Super Lig fixtures against Kocaelispor and Trabzonspor. Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk expressed concern, noting the striker’s importance in both domestic and European campaigns.
Osimhen’s absence adds pressure on Galatasaray, which is aiming to secure a strong start in the Champions League group stage. The club will rely on other attacking options, but the loss of a proven goal scorer could affect their chances of advancing.
The incident also highlights the broader injury challenges faced by clubs juggling multiple competitions. While Galatasaray assesses Osimhen’s recovery timeline, fans will be closely watching his return ahead of crucial matches.
