Galatasaray fans are concerned after a picture of Victor Osimhen in Super Eagles training hit social media.
A picture of Victor Osimhen in the Super Eagles camp has triggered concern in Turkey, with Galatasaray fans worrying that their record signing might return injured for the second consecutive international break.
The Cim-Bom forward is with the rest of the Super Eagles squad in training camp for the penultimate and final World Cup qualifying matches against Lesotho and the Benin Republic.
Some video clips and pictures from the camp have found their way to the internet, one of which was a source of worry for fans of the Lions.
What Happened
In the picture in question, a plaster was wrapped around the area just below Osimhen’s knee. More concerning, however, was the bandage being wrapped around his ankle by a team doctor.
According to NTV.com, the image has made the rounds in Turkey, and fans are concerned that Osimhen has sustained another injury.

The fears have a basis, as the former Napoli man sustained an injury during the last international break, which kept him out of action for multiple weeks.
Osimhen was substituted out against Rwanda and missed the game against South Africa, booking an early return to Istanbul. He spent weeks convalescing and missed three matches; he has yet to play a full game since returning.
