Turkey: Bad news for Galatasaray fans – Kuçuk reveals Osimhen’s return could be delayed

According to a report from Daily Post Nigeria, on Wednesday November 11, 2026, Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen could spend longer on the sidelines than initially expected as he recovers from a knee injury, according to Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük.

Osimhen sustained the injury during Galatasaray’s 2–0 Champions League win over Stuttgart. Küçük described the possibility of an extended absence as disappointing news for the club’s supporters, who will be eager to see the forward return to action.

The striker has undergone successful surgery, with the procedure reportedly carried out by Yener İnce, a member of Galatasaray’s medical board. Küçük added that Osimhen asked to remain in hospital after being discharged so he could begin treatment without delay.

The journalist also reported that Osimhen requested a private room. The forward recently welcomed a baby and lives with a large household in Istanbul, making privacy and a comfortable recovery environment important.

Galatasaray have not announced a revised date for Osimhen’s return. His availability will depend on how well he progresses through rehabilitation and the medical team’s ongoing assessment. Until more details emerge, the club and its supporters will have to wait for a clearer indication of when the striker might be ready to play again.
