Prominent Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük has revealed the number of matches Victor Osimhen will miss for Galatasaray.
Osimhen is currently recovering from a knee injury he picked up against Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League.
The Nigerian international has undergone a successful surgery and he will miss Super Eagles’ AFCON qualifiers against Tanzania this month.
Providing an update on Osimhen, Küçük said on the 343 Digital YouTube channel that the 27-year-old will miss Galatasaray’s next matches against Samsunspor, Aston Villa, and Beşiktaş.
“Osimhen underwent a successful operation. He will stay in Istanbul for a while to continue his treatment. A fragment has fallen out of his knee. Due to this fragment, his return may be delayed,” Küçük said.
“His condition will be clearer in 10 days. Due to that detached fragment, it seems that Osimhen’s return to the field will take up to five weeks. Osimhen is not expected to play in the Samsunspor, Aston Villa, and Beşiktaş matches.”
