Galatasaray Confirm Osimhen Groin Injury, MRI to Determine Super Eagles Availability
Galatasaray have confirmed that Victor Osimhen suffered pain and a strain in his right adductor, or groin, muscle during their 3-2 win over İstanbul Başakşehir. The Nigerian striker scored before leaving the match in the 32nd minute. The Turkish champions said Osimhen has begun treatment and will undergo further examinations, including an MRI scan, to determine the severity of the injury. He was later seen leaving the stadium without assistance. His availability for Galatasaray’s upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture and Nigeria’s AFCON 2027 qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau will depend on the scan results. A minor strain could keep him out for one to two weeks, while a more serious injury may require a longer recovery period.
