Victor Osimhen, the forward for Turkey's national team, is set to miss a significant portion of time due to a recent injury. The Nigerian international sustained an adductor muscle strain while playing for Galatasaray in a match against Istanbul Başakşehir.

He was substituted in the 33rd minute by Turkish winger Barış Alper Yılmaz. Following a medical examination, it was confirmed that Osimhen had suffered a groin injury. According to Turkish sports outlet Le Marca Sports, the player will be sidelined for the next three matches in all competitions. This includes a UEFA Champions League fixture against Sporting Lisbon, as well as Super Lig games against Kocaelispor and Trabzonspor.
The absence of Osimhen poses a significant challenge for Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk, who is keen to have his star striker fit and ready as the club aims for success in both domestic and European competitions.
