Galatasaray Await Further Tests on Osimhen’s Groin Injury severity

Galatasaray are awaiting further medical results on Victor Osimhen after the Nigerian forward developed a groin problem during the club’s Trendyol Super Lig Matchday 4 meeting with Başakşehir FK.

Osimhen injury update

  1. Osimhen felt pain in his right adductor muscle during the match, raising questions about his availability for Galatasaray’s upcoming fixtures.
  2. The Turkish champions have started treating the injury and will send the Super Eagles striker for additional tests, including an MRI scan, to assess its seriousness.
  3. Galatasaray also confirmed that Mario Lemina suffered strain and discomfort in the same muscle group during the fixture. Both players are due to complete their further examinations tomorrow.
  4. The club said the medical findings should clarify the extent of Osimhen’s problem and may indicate how long he will be sidelined before returning to competitive action.

No comeback date has been set for Osimhen. Galatasaray are monitoring the Nigeria international closely, with another update expected after the planned examinations have been completed.
