Super Eagles forwards Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho are currently setting the pace in the goal-scoring charts in Turkey’s top two professional divisions, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Osimhen took his tally to six goals after finding the net during Galatasaray’s 3-2 away victory over Ba?ak?ehir in the Trendyol Süper Lig, with the Nigerian striker continuing his impressive start to the campaign after four league appearances.
Iheanacho has been equally prolific in the Trendyol Birinci Lig, scoring six goals and providing two assists in his opening five matches of the season.
However, Osimhen’s impressive outing against Ba?ak?ehir was overshadowed by an injury that forced him to leave the pitch during the encounter.
According to information obtained by Odatv, the incident occurred after the Galatasaray forward stretched his leg too far while competing in the match.
The movement reportedly resulted in muscle pain, leaving Osimhen unable to continue the game.
Galatasaray is expected to monitor the Nigerian international closely as they assess the extent of the injury and his availability for their upcoming fixtures.
