Osimhen scores and leaves injured ahead of Galatasaray's visit to Alvalade

Record4 September 2026 at 18:59

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen suffered an injury during the match between Galatasaray and Basaksehir, being substituted in the 32nd minute of play. The player managed to score a goal before leaving injured, which immediately raised concerns about his physical condition.

The injury occurred just days before Galatasaray's visit to the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon to face Sporting in the Champions League. This match represents an important challenge for the Turkish team in the European competition.

The timing of the injury concerns Galatasaray's coaching staff, as Osimhen is a key piece in the Turkish side's attack. The possible absence of the Nigerian striker could significantly affect the team's tactical options for the match against the reigning Portuguese champions.

Expectations now focus on the medical evaluation that will determine the severity of the injury and the recovery time needed, which could influence Galatasaray's preparation for the important European fixture on Portuguese soil.
