BREAKING: Victor Osimhen Set To Be Sidelined for Months After Injury on International Duty With Nigeria, He’ll Be Replaced By….
Galatasaray have been hit with a major setback as star striker Victor Osimhen is set to be sidelined for several months following an injury sustained during Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. The prolific forward picked up the injury while representing the Super Eagles, and early medical assessments suggest he could be out of action for up to three months.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray in a blockbuster move earlier this year, has been instrumental in the club’s attacking play, scoring crucial goals and leading the line with power and pace. His absence comes at a critical point in the season, with Galatasaray competing for the Süper Lig title and progressing in European competitions.
The timing is equally damaging for Nigeria, who are relying on Osimhen to spearhead their World Cup qualification hopes. Losing their top striker during such a vital period puts pressure on the rest of the squad to step up.
Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk now faces the challenge of reshuffling his attack, while fans anxiously await updates on their star man’s recovery. Both club and country will be hoping for a speedy and complete return, as Osimhen’s presence will be sorely missed.
