Galatasaray has announced that striker Victor Osimhen successfully underwent knee surgery following an injury during a UEFA Champions League match against VfB Stuttgart. The injury, a sprain with a loose fragment, required surgical intervention at Maslak Acıbadem Hospital by Galatasaray's doctor, Yener İnce. Osimhen, 27, will undergo daily medical assessments as he recovers under the watchful eye of the club's medical team.
The club extends its best wishes for a speedy recovery and hopes Osimhen will return to action as soon as his condition permits. According to Turkish sports newspaper Fanatik, Osimhen is anticipated to miss Galatasaray's next two league games against Amedspor and Samsunspor, with a potential return as early as November 24 for the Champions League match against Aston Villa.
This injury poses a significant challenge for Nigeria's national team coach Eric Chelle, who had relied on Osimhen's availability for upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Tanzania.
