Galatasaray have confirmed that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen will undergo surgery following a medical evaluation, raising concerns about his availability in the ongoing UEFA Champions League campaign.
The Turkish club disclosed that the forward sustained an injury that requires surgical intervention after initial assessments and consultations with medical specialists. While the exact nature of the injury was not fully detailed, club officials indicated that the decision to proceed with surgery was taken in the best interest of the player’s long-term fitness and career.
Osimhen, who has been a key figure for Galatasaray this season, is expected to be sidelined for a significant period, dealing a major blow to the team’s attacking options. His absence could impact the club’s performance as they continue their push in both domestic competitions and Europe.
The club’s medical team has assured supporters that the procedure will be carried out promptly, with a structured rehabilitation plan already being prepared to aid his recovery. However, no definitive timeline has been given for his return to action.
Fans and teammates have expressed support for the striker, wishing him a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Osimhen’s influence on the pitch, particularly his goal-scoring ability and physical presence, has made him an indispensable part of the squad.
Further updates on his condition and recovery progress are expected to be provided by the club in the coming weeks.
