Another Bad News for Galatasaray from Osimhen and Leao: Their Return Has Been Delayed

Following the injuries at Galatasaray before the international break, there have been new developments regarding the return dates of Victor Osimhen and Rafael Leao. It is being reported that both players may be absent from the team for longer than expected.

According to journalist Ali Naci Küçük, Osimhen's return to the pitch could take around 5 weeks. The Nigerian player is not expected to feature in the Samsunspor, Aston Villa and Beşiktaş matches during this period.

Leao's injury is said to be more serious than Osimhen's. The health report reportedly identified a severe strain and bleeding. Galatasaray's medical board has set a 4-week treatment program for the Portuguese player.

After completing the treatment, Leao is not planned to join the squad immediately. The aim is to first put him through training and strengthening work to get him physically ready. In this process, which is expected to last 5-6 weeks in total, there is a possibility he will not be able to play in the matches against Samsunspor, Aston Villa, Beşiktaş, Rizespor, AEK Athens and Eyüpspor.
