Victor Osimhen suffers a groin injury after being substituted early in Galatasaray’s 3-2 win over Istanbul Başakşehir F.K. in their last league match, with reports saying he leaves the pitch clutching his inner thigh at around the 33rd minute.
Galatasaray confirm the injury after medical checks, stating that examinations detect an advanced-to-moderate strain in Osimhen’s right adductor (groin) muscle group. One outlet describes it as a “moderate-to-advanced” strain, while another quotes a more detailed club formulation that includes bleeding and strain. The club does not provide a recovery timeline.
The outlets also link the injury to Osimhen’s international schedule, reporting he is considered doubtful for Nigeria’s early AFCON qualifiers. Nigeria’s first matches are listed as against Madagascar on September 25, followed by Guinea-Bissau four days later. Overall, both accounts emphasize the nature of the muscle strain and uncertainty around when he returns, while differing mainly in how they phrase the severity and what they highlight about recovery and AFCON timing.
