A former referee and football analyst claimed that Victor Osimhen had an illness which could affect him for the rest of his life.
Turkish doctor and football analyst Ahmet Cakar recently made a concerning claim about Victor Osimhen's health, alleging that the Nigeria international had a possible lifelong illness.
What Cakar said
Cakar, who was a renowned FIFA-listed referee and now a football pundit, said on Beyaz TV that Galatasaray were aware of an illness Victor Osimhen had. He did not name the illness but claimed it would likely affect him for the rest of his life.
"I received information from the Ministry of Health regarding Victor Osimhen's illness. As a sportsman and father of two, I don't want to discuss Osimhen's illness,” he said, per GsGazette.
“I find it wrong. I spoke with Galatasaray Club Doctor Yener İnce, and he said, 'The information you received is incorrect.' Osimhen's illness will likely affect him for the rest of his life.
)
“According to regulations, the Ministry of Health was obligated to know about this. If these allegations are denied tomorrow or the next day, I will go through Yener İnce's trouble. Galatasaray officials are also aware of this situation. Some countries need to know about certain illnesses."
While Cakar is a respected football pundit and even regarded as one of the best referees of the quarter century by IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics), he is a controversial figure who has had many dubious claims.
He once said that Saddam Hussein was alive. He also said that aliens were real and were protecting Barack Obama.
While Osimhen has struggled with injuries in his career, there have been no suggestions that he suffers from any illness. Neither the player nor Galatasaray have publicly addressed the claim.
