Galatasaray: Rafael Leão’s injury more serious than Osimhen’s — Küçük

Prominent Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük has disclosed that Rafael Leão's injury is more severe than Victor Osimhen's. Leão experienced a high-grade right hamstring injury during Galatasaray's Süper Lig game against Amedspor over the weekend. In contrast, Osimhen suffered a knee injury while playing for Galatasaray against Stuttgart in the Champions League.

Küçük provided an update on both athletes via 343 Digital's YouTube channel. Regarding Leão's medical report, the journalist noted a severe strain and bleeding. The recovery timeline, depending on the severity, ranges from two weeks for mild cases, to three to four weeks for moderate cases, and six to eight weeks for severe cases.

Galatasaray's medical board has determined Leão's treatment period to be four weeks. Following this period, a training and strengthening program will be implemented, aiming for his return to the field within five to six weeks.

Unfortunately, Leão's prospects of participating in subsequent matches, whether for Samsunspor, Aston Villa, Beşiktaş, Rizespor, Eyüpspor, or AEK, are highly unlikely.
