Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has provided an update on his return to action after suffering an injury in September.
He sustained the injury on September 28 during a 3-3 draw against Kasımpaşa in the Super Lig, where he played a crucial role by scoring two goals and helping Galatasaray establish a three-goal lead before being substituted at halftime.
Due to his injury, Osimhen has been excluded from Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming double-header against Libya in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
In a video shared on social media by Turkish journalist, Caner Isbegendiren, the former Napoli forward was seen walking past the mixed zone, briefly addressing questions from journalists.
When asked about concerns regarding his injury, the Nigerian striker responded simply:
“After the international break.”
Osimhen has been a key figure for Okan Buruk’s side, contributing to five goals in his four appearances so far.

Following his comments, fans of the Yellow and Reds are hopeful to see Osimhen return either for the next league match at home against Antalyaspor or the UEFA Europa League clash against Elfsborg.
Nigeria’s interim boss Augustine Eguavoen has picked three center forwards in his squad for the internationals in October, namely Kelechi Iheanacho, Victor Boniface and Taiwo Awoniyi.
