Galatasaray have underscored their commitment to Victor Osimhen by sending a private jet to Nigeria to bring the striker back to Istanbul following his injury during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda.
Osimhen limped off during Saturday’s clash at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo after suffering a shin knock. Nigeria’s medical team confirmed the injury after initial checks, raising concerns over his fitness for both club and country.
According to club sources, Galatasaray opted for a private plane to ensure the forward receives the highest level of medical care and avoids the strain of commercial travel. The striker is expected to undergo further tests in Istanbul, which will determine whether he faces a short recovery period or a more extended spell on the sidelines.
Both Super Eagles supporters and Galatasaray fans now await updates with concern as they hope for positive news on their star forward’s condition.
