Victor Osimhen do wetin Galatasaray fans don dey expect from am — but e later comot from the pitch with one serious injury wey fit make am stay away from football reach January 2027.
The Super Eagles striker score another goal as the defending champions beat Başakşehir 3-2 for their own ground during their Trendyol Süper Lig Round 4 match on Friday, na weytin Hitvibz dey yan be dat.
But even though the win go make Galatasaray happy, na Osimhen injury dey make everybody talk now. The big question be whether their star striker go fit return anytime soon.
Osimhen Injury Don Put Shadow on Another Galatasaray Goal
Osimhen no waste time before e make impact. Na only 16 minutes e take before the Nigerian striker collect ball around the penalty box, create small space for himself and fire one heavy shot.
The ball hit crossbar, bounce come down near the goal line, and at first nobody really know whether e don enter.
After VAR check am well, dem confirm say the ball don cross the line. Galatasaray take 1-0 lead.
The goal na another proof of how dangerous Osimhen don dey since this new season start. With this goal, e don now score for every match wey e play this season.
For league alone, Osimhen don score six goals and provide two assists from four matches.
Göztepe. Erzurumspor FK. Çorum FK. Başakşehir — Osimhen don put ball for net against all four teams.
But just when everything dey go well, matter suddenly change.
The 27-year-old striker pick up injury and no fit continue. Barış Alper Yılmaz come replace am for the 33rd minute. Before e finally comot, Osimhen don already dey show say something no dey right with am.
That early substitution quickly turn the whole celebration into serious worry.
Turkish doctor Gürkan Kubilay talk say the injury fit affect some ligaments inside the muscle. If na that kind injury, Osimhen fit need between three and four months before e fit return to action.
If that medical prediction correct, e mean say Osimhen fit no return until around January 2027.
But for now, nobody don confirm exactly how serious the injury be. Galatasaray medical team still need to examine am properly before dem go know the real situation.
Osimhen Injury Fit Be Big Wahala for Galatasaray and Nigeria
And na here the matter dey become even more serious.
Galatasaray get Champions League match against Sporting CP coming soon, so Osimhen availability don suddenly become big concern for coach Okan Buruk.
Galatasaray eventually survive all the drama for Istanbul.
Eldor Shomurodov equalise from penalty for 66th minute. Five minutes later, Lucas Torreira put Galatasaray back in front.
But Davinson Sánchez later score own goal, making the game 2-2.
Galatasaray no give up though. Gabriel Sara step up for the 90th minute and bend one beautiful free-kick enter net to give the visitors a dramatic 3-2 victory.
For Osimhen, though, the win fit no really mean much compared to the injury.
His latest goal also continue one crazy scoring run for the league.
The Nigerian striker don now contribute to at least one goal in each of his last 16 Süper Lig appearances for Galatasaray.
During that run, e don score 16 goals and make seven assists.
Na serious consistency be that.
But now, the hard part don come.
If the first medical assessment turn out to be correct, Galatasaray fit lose their most dangerous attacking player for a big part of the season.
Nigeria too fit feel the effect.
Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle fit need to prepare the team without Osimhen for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau on September 23.
For player wey just few minutes earlier look like say nothing fit stop am, this kind sudden injury twist na serious painful one.
Osimhen score.
Galatasaray win.
But now, everybody wey support the club dey wait for just one thing — the medical result wey go determine when their star striker fit kick ball again.
