Nigeria's top striker Victor Osimhen will miss the Super Eagles' November international window after undergoing surgery for a left knee injury, reports Saturday PUNCH. The 27-year-old Galatasaray player suffered the sprain during a Champions League match against VfB Stuttgart and will have surgery on Saturday. This setback is a significant blow to the national team, which faces Tanzania in their opening November qualifier on November 13.
Osimhen's absence follows another injury to winger Samuel Chukwueze, who was also sidelined for the same fixtures. Galatasaray, the Turkish champions, will also be without their leading scorer for their upcoming Süper Lig match against Amedspor.
