Prominent Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük has revealed that Rafael Leão’s injury is more serious than Victor Osimhen’s.
Leão sustained a high-grade right hamstring injury during Galatasaray’s Süper Lig match against Amedspor at the weekend, while Osimhen picked up a knee injury against Stuttgart in the Champions League.
Providing an update on both players, Küçük said on the 343 Digital YouTube channel: “Rafael Leao’s situation is more serious than Osimhen’s.
“Looking at Rafael Leao’s medical report, we see a severe strain and bleeding. If it is mild, a two-week treatment period is anticipated. If it is moderate, three to four weeks, and if it is severe, six to eight week.
“The treatment period determined by Galatasaray’s medical board for Leao is four weeks.
“After that, a training and strengthening program will be implemented. The goal for Leao is to recover and return to the field within five to six weeks.
“Leao’s chances of playing in the Samsunspor, Aston Villa, Beşiktaş, Rizespor, Eyüpspor, or even AEK matches are almost nil.”
