UCL: Osimhen to Miss Gala’s UCL Tie Against Saint-Gilloise
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will be absent for Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League fixture against Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise due to a minor hamstring tear picked up in international duty. Osimhen was substituted off at halftime during Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier with DR Congo and returned to his club for immediate treatment. Initial scans confirm a minor injury expected to sideline him for several days. Osimhen, top scorer in the competition with six goals, will be re-evaluated on Friday to determine his availability for upcoming fixtures, including the crucial Turkish league derby with Fenerbahce. He was seen supporting Galatasaray from the stands and exiting with teammate Henry Onyekuru. His absence opens the opportunity for rivals Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappé, each only one goal behind, to overtake him in the Champions League scoring charts.
