Galatasaray will be without their star striker, Victor Osimhen, when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League following an injury setback.
The 26-year-old forward picked up the knock during Nigeria’s clash against Rwanda and has since been sidelined, missing out on his club’s crucial European tie.
Confirming the development, Galatasaray released their squad list for the encounter with Frankfurt, with Osimhen’s name conspicuously absent.
The Nigerian international’s absence is a major blow for the Turkish giants, who had been counting on his firepower to help them secure a vital result in the group stage.
