Osimhen's injury status unclear, Nigeria qualifying match in doubt

Galatasaray have confirmed that Victor Osimhen will be sidelined with a groin injury. The Nigerian striker is expected to be out for two to three weeks and has missed the club's UEFA Champions League opener.

Osimhen has been unavailable for Galatasaray's away Champions League clash against Sporting CP on Wednesday and is also likely to miss the start of Nigeria's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign later this month.

However, according to some recent reports from the Turkish media, there is still a chance that Osimhen could travel with the squad to Trabzon next week. Therefore, the full extent and severity of his injury have yet to be confirmed.
