Injured against Rwanda, Victor Osimhen has returned to Turkey, where he underwent all the necessary medical tests to determine the seriousness of his injury.

The verdict is in for Victor Osimhen, who was sidelined during the Super Eagles' win over Rwanda (1-0) last Saturday.

According to a statement from Galatasaray, the Nigerian striker is suffering from a moderate ankle sprain. “During the examinations carried out today (Tuesday) at the club's medical center, a moderate sprain (stretching and bleeding) was detected in the ankle ligaments,” said Dr. Yener İnce, the club doctor.

The Istanbul club has announced that the necessary treatment has already begun so that the former Napoli forward can return to action as quickly as possible.

Nigeria will have to do without their star striker for the trip to South Africa on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, as part of the 8th round of qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
