In a medical bulletin released on Tuesday, Galatasaray’s team doctor, Yener İnce, revealed that scans at the club’s partner hospital showed “a moderate sprain (stretching and bleeding) was detected in Osimhen’s ankle ligaments and the necessary treatment has been initiated in order for our football player to return to the field as soon as possible.”
The 26-year-old Nigerian striker limped off in the first half after a collision and did not recover in time to join Super Eagles squad in Bloemfontein for the clash with Bafana Bafana which ended 1-1 last night.
According to multiple source, a private jet sent by Galatasaray flew the former Napoli and Lille forward back to Turkey on Sunday shortly after his international teammates headed to South Africa.
Osimhen has scored three goals in as many qualifiers but has now missed five games in the campaign, including key fixtures against Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Benin and South Africa.
Galatasaray will travel this weekend 13th September, 2025 to face Eyupspor at Atatürk Olympic Stadium before the UEFA Champions League group phase opener against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday 18th, September 2025 and likely to miss out on the Nigerian striker.
