Victor Osimhen is expected to be sidelined for some time after sustaining a hamstring injury during Galatasaray’s 3-2 win over Sivasspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
The Nigeria international, who found the net in the match, was forced off in the 74th minute and replaced by Michy Batshuayi.
The goal was Osimhen’s 10th in the league after joining Galatasaray on transfer day deadline on loan from Italian Serie A side Napoli.
Galatasaray confirmed Osimhen’s injury through an official statement posted on their website, stating that treatment had commenced for the Nigerian star.
“Galatasaray today provided the following update regarding the medical conditions of Victor Osimhen and Barış Alper Yılmaz who both sustained injuries in the game against Sivasspor.
“Victor Osimhen underwent an MRI examination which revealed a moderate strain and bleeding in the right posterior upper muscle group. Treatment for our player has been initiated,” the club said.
While no official recovery timeline was provided, reports suggest Osimhen could miss action until late December.
