Osimhen and Iheanacho Shine in Turkish Leagues
Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho, both Nigerian forwards, are having remarkable starts to the 2026/27 season in Turkey. Osimhen, playing for Galatasaray in the Trendyol Süper Lig, has scored six goals in four matches, contributing to a 3-2 victory over Istanbul Başakşehir on Friday.
However, he left the match due to an injury sustained while stretching his leg, prompting Galatasaray to assess the injury's severity. Meanwhile, Kelechi Iheanacho has also been impressive in the Trendyol Birinci Lig, scoring six goals and providing two assists in his first five matches.
The performances of both players are encouraging for Nigeria's national team as they monitor the form of their attacking options, emphasizing the importance of their fitness for both their clubs and the Super Eagles.
