This is happening right now, around 08:34 PM PKT on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. Fans were freaking out since it went down on September 6, 2025, during Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier. The update’s kind of reassuring, you know, even with those big matches coming up for his club and the national team.

That tense spot in Uyo. How it all unfolded.

Nigeria was fighting hard for a 1-0 win against Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium. Then, bam, things got rough in the 27th minute. Osimhen clashed nasty with a Rwandan defender, started limping bad, wincing like crazy. By the 35th minute, he was off the field, Cyriel Dessers coming in for him. Seeing him hobble away, man, it hurt every fan’s heart. The clash started with a rough tackle right in the penalty area, kicking off all the trouble. Even with his tough spirit, the pain forced him out, leaving folks really worried. Galatasaray moved quick though, got him back to Istanbul on a private jet on September 8, 2025, for the best medical care they could give.

The club’s update this evening. What the docs discovered.

Just minutes back, at 08:31 PM PKT, Dr. Yener İnce from Galatasaray’s first team spilled the details on Osimhen’s state. Diagnosis is a moderate ankle ligament sprain, with some stretching and a little bleeding in there, ouch. Treatment’s already underway, top-level stuff to get him recovering fast. The road to full health looks like 3 to 6 weeks, depending on progress, but no firm date set yet.

What this means for everybody involved. Galatasaray’s path forward.

Champions League kicks off against Eintracht Frankfurt on September 18, 2025, just days away, so the pressure’s on. Victor’s our guy after that €75 million transfer in July 2025, banging in 37 goals over 41 games last season, total rock for the team. Coach Okan Buruk’s been stressing over these international duties, knows how vital Osimhen is. Without him, it could mess up their European run and the Süper Lig too, big time. Nigeria’s got a rough stretch coming. The Super Eagles without Osimhen, especially after he missed the September 9, 2025, game versus South Africa. He’s the team’s heart, sitting third in the group, relying on his goals and leadership to push for World Cup spots. Coach Eric Chelle said after the match that Osimhen’s ankle still needs more checks.
