Victor Osimhen knows if he'll be fit for Sporting - Galatasaray | OneFootball

Galatasaray beat Basaksehir 3-2, but Victor Osimhen went off injured in the 32nd minute after feeling a problem in his right thigh. His presence againstSporting on Wednesday, for the opening matchday of the Champions League, has now been ruled out.

According to information released by the Turkish club, the Nigerian striker suffered a strain to the adductor in his right leg and will be assessed again on Monday, when he will also undergo further tests to determine the extent of the injury and the expected recovery period, but everything suggests that Okan Buruk will have to prepare for the match against the Lions without one of his main players.

Mario Lemina’s situation is less worrying, although the midfielder also left the match due to muscular complaints. The player is also expected to be reassessed on Monday, but there is hope that he can recover in time for the clash with Sporting. More complicated is Singo’s situation, as he is still recovering from an injury to the tendon in his right thigh.

Osimhen’s absence is a major blow for Galatasaray ahead of the trip to Alvalade, especially given the importance the striker has in the Turkish side’s attack. The Nigerian had already scored against Basaksehir before leaving the pitch.
