Galatasaray Club Vice President Mehmet Cibara has dismissed any link between the pitch and recent injuries, saying Rafael Leao’s injury is “completely different” and Victor Osimhen’s is “chronic”.
Cibara also declined to elaborate further on Osimhen’s injury during the international break.
“The injuries have nothing to do with the pitch. Leao’s injury is completely different,” Cibara said, as quoted by Habersarikirmizi.
“Osimhen’s injury is something chronic. I won’t say more about him because we are in the international break.”
Osimhen picked up a knee injury during Galatasaray’s victory against Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League.
Leao, on the other hand, sustained a high-grade strain with significant bleeding during Galatasaray’s win against Amed SK last weekend.
