Osimhen to miss Galatasaray’s match against Gaziantep FK
Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen, will not feature in his side’s Turkish Super Lig clash against Gaziantep FK on Tuesday evening.
Galatasaray disclosed this in a statement on their website on Monday.
Okan Buruk’s side said Osimhen alongside Ismail Jakobs and Roland Sallai will miss the game at RAMS Park.
“Victor Osimhen, Ismail Jakobs and Roland Sallai, who were transferred after the postponement date, will not be in the squad due to the status,” the statement partly read.

The match was supposed to take place on the third match-day, but it was postponed, and Osimhen, alongside Jakobs and Sallai, was unregistered at that point, thereby making them ineligible to take part in the game.
This means that Osimhen will have to wait to make his next appearance for Galatasaray after making his debut against Çaykur Rizespor last weekend.
Osimhen, 25, will be up for his first big test in the Süper Lig next weekend when Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe hosts Galatasaray at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
