Galatasaray have confirmed that Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has undergone successful surgery following the injury he sustained in their UEFA Champions League match against VfB Stuttgart.
The operation took place on Saturday at Maslak Ac?badem Hospital and was led by Galatasaray club doctor Yener Ince.
The Turkish champions said Osimhen’s recovery would be closely monitored, with the striker receiving daily assessments from the club’s medical team.
“Our player Victor Osimhen underwent successful surgery today at Maslak Ac?badem Hospital, performed by our club doctor, Yener Ince,” Galatasaray said in an official statement.
“Our player's condition will be monitored through daily assessments, and his treatment will continue under the supervision of our club's medical team.
“We wish our player Victor Osimhen a speedy recovery and hope he gets well as soon as possible.”
