Turkey: Number of matches Osimhen will miss for Galatasaray revealed

Prominent Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük has disclosed the number of matches Victor Osimhen will miss during his recovery from a knee injury with Galatasaray. Osimhen, a Nigerian international, underwent successful surgery following an injury sustained against Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League. According to Küçük on 343 Digital's YouTube channel, the 27-year-old will miss Galatasaray's upcoming fixtures against Samsunspor, Aston Villa, and Beşiktaş. The journalist added that Osimhen is currently recuperating in Istanbul to continue his treatment.

A fragment has detached from Osimhen's knee, which could potentially delay his return to action. Küçük further explained that his condition should become clearer within the next 10 days. Given the detached fragment, Osimhen's return to the field is expected to take up to five weeks, and it is unlikely that he will participate in the upcoming matches for Samsunspor, Aston Villa, and Beşiktaş.
