Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen may be sidelined for up to two weeks after suffering an injury during Galatasaray's 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa, Soccernet.ng reports.

The forward, on loan from Napoli, delivered a stellar performance in the first half, scoring twice to give Galatasaray a commanding lead.

Osimhen opened the scoring with a stunning strike , followed by a second goal just eight minutes later to firm end his club goal drought since May.

However, his evening took a worrying turn early in the second half when Osimhen signaled to the bench, requesting a substitution after a challenge forced him off the pitch.

Although he briefly returned to the field after receiving medical attention, he was eventually replaced by Dries Mertens.
