Double Injury Concern at Galatasaray

At Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen, who suffered a strain in his left knee during the UEFA Champions League match against VfB Stuttgart, and Rafael Leao, who was substituted in the 50th minute at the start of the second half of the Süper Lig match against Amedspor after getting injured, are causing concern. According to journalist Ali Naci Küçük's report, Osimhen's MRI scans revealed a loose fragment and he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery. Leao's tests revealed a severe strain and bleeding in the right upper posterior muscle group. Sources disagree on the return timelines of the two players and the matches they will miss, so this information was not included.
