Victor Osimhen saw his supposed perfect night end abruptly in agonizing fashion as the Nigerian striker exited the Galatasaray clash against Kasimpasa with injury after ending is goal drought a brace.
Osimhen, who recently moved to the Turkish side, eventually opened his goal-scoring account after firing blank in his first three appearances for the club, where he provided an assist in each of the games.
The 25-year-old striker scored the opener in the 20th minute with a well-composed finish from a few yards out before going on to complete his brace with a world-class left-footed volley eight minutes later.
Despite an impressive first-half performance for the Asians, Osimhen was unable to resume the second half with the team after being substituted at during the break due to injury.
Update on Victor Osimhen’s situation
Buchi Labba on X has now given an update on the Super Eagles attacker’s situation, saying,
”He felt a slight pain when he was pushed outside the pitch. He will be evaluated tomorrow: If there’s Lesion.
”He will rest for 3days if not Latest is 2weeks .He currently Squats & feels no pain. After Evaluation tomorrow, I will update Immediately.”
In addition to leaving the game prematurely, Osimhen’s perfect night was further marred as his team squandered a three-goal lead to draw the game 3-3, rendering the striker’s goal less effective.
He will now look to recover from both setbacks, hoping that the injury was nothing more than a scare, and aiming to return to action as his team seeks to bounce back with a win.
