Despite Victor Osimhen being named in the Super Eagles’ AFCON 2027 qualifiers squad for the matches against Madagascar (25 September 2026) and Guinea‑Bissau (29 September 2026), the striker is missing from the latest Galatasaray squad to face Trabzonspor this weekend.
Reports indicate that the Super Eagles forward has not been included in Galatasaray’s matchday list, further highlighting the uncertainty around his current fitness.
This naturally raises the question: If Osimhen is not fit enough for Galatasaray, what is he doing in the national team squad, even though he is expected to recover within two to three weeks?
The Super Eagles technical crew has maintained that Osimhen is being monitored closely, and his inclusion is provisional, he will only join the team if he passes the required fitness tests before the qualifiers.
