Galatasaray’s plan is for injured Victor Osimhen to miss the Samsunspor Turkish Super Lig match but return to action for the Aston Villa clash in the Champions League later this month.
This was disclosed by an insider at Galatasaray, Emre Kaplan, who also provided an update on Rafael Leao’s situation.
Osimhen is presently recovering from a knee injury he sustained against Stuttgart in the Champions League.
The Nigerian international has already undergone a successful surgery and will miss Super Eagles’ AFCON qualifiers against Tanzania in the coming days.
“Galatasaray’s plan is for Osimhen to miss the Samsunspor match but return to action for the Aston Villa match,” Kaplan was quoted by Winner Galatasaray as saying via LiberoTV.
“Leao’s situation looks a little more serious than Osimhen’s. It looks like it will take four to five weeks. He will probably struggle to make the Beşiktaş derby.”
