Victor Osimhen, who suffered an injury to his left knee in Galatasaray's UEFA Champions League match against Stuttgart, underwent a successful operation.
HE WILL BE AWAY FROM THE PITCHES FOR 3-4 WEEKS
While the free fragment that formed in the knee of the 27-year-old Nigerian striker was cleaned surgically, no negative additional findings were encountered during checks performed during the surgical intervention. The medical team of the yellow-red club stated that the star striker is expected to be away from the pitches for approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
HIS RETURN IN THE BEŞİKTAŞ MATCH
Osimhen, who started his treatment and rehabilitation process without wasting time, is targeted to take his place in the team in the derby match to be played against Beşiktaş on November 30.
''IT CAN EXTEND UP TO 6 MONTHS''
Orthopedics, Traumatology and Sports Injuries Specialist Prof. Dr. Mehmet Erbil, who made assessments regarding the injury process, said, "In such a situation, a player can return to the pitches after 3 weeks in the best-case scenario. In the second possibility, if there is chronic edema, it can extend up to 6 months. The fact that there is no large fragment in Osimhen and that he was able to continue playing on the field is positive news."
