AFCON Qualifiers: Fresh injury setback for Osimhen as Galatasaray confirm knee surgery

Galatasaray has revealed that striker Victor Osimhen will undergo knee surgery and miss an upcoming match against Amed S.F. The Nigerian international suffered the injury during Galatasaray's recent UEFA Champions League game against VfB Stuttgart. The club confirmed that Osimhen sustained a strain in his left knee, and subsequent MRI scans revealed a loose body in the joint, necessitating medical intervention.

Arthroscopic knee surgery will be performed by the club's doctor, Yener İnce, tomorrow at Maslak Acıbadem Hospital. As a result, Osimhen will be absent from the Amed S.F. fixture as he begins his recovery process. The club will provide further updates on his condition and projected return to action following the surgical procedure.

Osimhen's absence will pose a challenge for Galatasaray as they navigate their domestic and European commitments, with the team closely monitoring his progress leading up to his return to competitive football.
