‘My condition is not very serious’ - Osimhen gives update on his injury, claims he is not worried

Osimhen was in action for the Super Eagles of Nigeria against DR Congo in their bid to qualify for the World Cup.

However, the forward was only able to lead his team in the first half, having suffered an injury that got him substituted at half-time.

His presence was missed as Nigeria were knocked out via penalty shoot-out, which led to the team missing the World Cup for the second time in a row.

Osimhen was substituted during Nigeria's 2026 World Cup qualifier against DR Congo on Sunday after feeling discomfort. 

He has since returned to Turkey for a thorough medical assessment, which will include an MRI scan to determine the extent of the damage.

Upon his arrival, Osimhen provided a positive update to the Turkish press. "My condition is not very serious," he told A Spor, suggesting the issue may be minor.

The results of the upcoming scan will provide a clear diagnosis and dictate the timeline for his return to action for Galatasaray.

Osimhen has been a pivotal figure for the Istanbul club this season, leading their attack with impressive form. 

He has already scored nine goals in just 12 matches across all competitions this season for Galatasaray.
