Osimhen Out For 3 Weeks! Galatasaray Star To Undergo Knee Surgery

Galatasaray have announced that Victor Osimhen will not be in the squad for the Amedspor match due to injury and will undergo surgery.

The Turkish champions confirmed on Friday that Osimhen suffered a sprain in his left knee during their UEFA Champions League match against VfB Stuttgart.

An MRI scan subsequently revealed a free fragment in his knee.

Galatasaray released the following statement:

‘Our player Victor Osimhen, who suffered a sprain in his left knee during our UEFA Champions League match against VfB Stuttgart and was found to have a free fragment in his knee following an MRI scan, is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery tomorrow at Maslak Acıbadem Hospital by our club doctor, Yener İnce. Therefore, our player has been removed from the squad for tomorrow’s match against Amed SF.’

Osimhen will face Amedspor at home in Week 11 of the Trendyol Super Lig on Saturday.

According to a report on TRT Spor, Osimhen will be unavailable for three weeks.

It is not expected that the star striker will be risked in the Samsunspor match after the international break, and if his recovery goes as planned, he may be able to play against Aston Villa in the Champions League.

Osimhen has played 11 matches for Galatasaray this season, scoring 10 goals and providing 3 assists.
