Galatasaray: Osimhen has Grade II ankle sprain

Galatasaray has officially announced that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen sustained a moderate sprain with bleeding in his ankle ligaments during Nigeria’s World Cup Qualifier against Rwanda.

In a statement released by the club, it was confirmed.

‘Following medical examinations conducted at our sponsor hospital, a moderate sprain, characterized by stretching and bleeding, was detected in Victor Osimhen’s ankle ligaments. Treatment has commenced to ensure his swift recovery.’
