Osimhen, who remained on the field for the first 45 minutes of Nigeria’s critical match against Democratic Congo, was taken out of the game at halftime due to the pain he felt in his left back muscle. The national team technical delegation announced that a strain was detected in the player’s hamstring area.
According to the news in the Nigerian press, the first checks performed after Osimhen left the field found that the injury was not serious. However, it was stated that further examinations were required for a definitive diagnosis. The player’s situation is being closely followed by Galatasaray. It was stated that the club doctors will make a comprehensive evaluation upon Osimhen’s return to Istanbul. The technical staff of the yellow-reds stated that an official statement about the player’s treatment process will be made only after these checks.
HIS OLD INJURY IS ALSO ON THE AGENDA
It was known that Victor Osimhen’s last injury before the national team camp was caused by a blow to his wrist. For this reason, Galatasaray medical board said that the player’s new muscle injury was not related to the previous blow and was a new situation. Galatasaray fans are following the player’s latest situation with curiosity, especially as critical matches in the league and Europe are approaching. It is expected that Osimhen’s return to the field will be clear after the checks.
