Galatasaray's Yener İnce Updates on Osimhen's Injury Status

Galatasaray doctor Yener İnce updated on Victor Osimhen’s fitness ahead of the Turkish Super Lig match against Kasımpaşa at RAMS Park. Osimhen has been sidelined for three matches after sustaining a Grade 2 muscle injury during Galatasaray’s 3-2 victory over İstanbul Başakşehir last month.

This injury also prevented him from participating in the Super Eagles’ 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau. Although Osimhen has resumed some team training, İnce did not confirm his availability for the upcoming match.

He explained that Osimhen suffered a significant hematoma and serious bleeding, necessitating careful management of his recovery. Osimhen participated in some training on October 7, but the medical team will continue to assess him daily to avoid further risks. İnce emphasized the importance of protecting both Osimhen and teammate Wilfried Singo, prioritizing their long-term health over immediate match participation.
