Victor Osimhen is set to miss three matches for Galatasaray following his recent injury.

The 27-year-old sustained a knee injury during Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League clash against Stuttgart.

The Super Eagles striker has undergone successful surgery and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.

Osimhen will also miss Nigeria’s upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tanzania on November 13 and 17.

At club level, the former Napoli striker is expected to miss Galatasaray’s matches against Samsunspor, Aston Villa and Beşiktaş.

This was disclosed by Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük on the 343 Digital YouTube channel while discussing the extent of Osimhen’s injury.

“Osimhen underwent a successful operation. He will stay in Istanbul for a while to continue his treatment. A fragment has fallen out of his knee. Due to this fragment, his return may be delayed,” Küçük said.

“His condition will be clearer in 10 days. Due to that detached fragment, it seems that Osimhen’s return to the field will take up to five weeks. Osimhen is not expected to play in the Samsunspor, Aston Villa and Beşiktaş matches.”
