Galatasaray VP Says Rams Park Pitch Did Not Cause Osimhen’s Injury
Galatasaray vice-president Mehmet Cibara has rejected claims that the club’s pitch contributed to injuries suffered by Victor Osimhen and Rafael Leao. He said the two cases were unrelated and defended the condition of the playing surface at Rams Park. Osimhen had knee surgery after scans found a loose fragment following Galatasaray’s 2-0 Champions League win over Stuttgart. He has been ruled out of Nigeria’s upcoming AFCON 2027 qualifiers against Tanzania, and his return date is uncertain. Cibara described Osimhen’s injury as chronic but declined to comment further during the international break. Osimhen has scored 11 goals and provided six assists for Galatasaray this season.
