Turkey: Osimhen suspended for Galatasaray’s final league game
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will miss Galatasaray’s final Turkish Super Lig match of the season against Kasimpasa after picking up a suspension-triggering yellow card in Saturday’s 4-2 victory over Antalyaspor.
The Nigerian international was booked during the encounter, taking his tally to five yellow cards for the season and automatically ruling him out of the final league fixture.
Despite the booking, Osimhen delivered another impressive performance, scoring twice to help Galatasaray secure a fourth consecutive Turkish league title.
The title triumph marks Osimhen’s second league championship with the Istanbul giants since joining the club.
Galatasaray will travel to face Kasimpasa in an Istanbul derby at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium next Sunday as they aim to conclude the campaign on a winning note.
Coach Okan Buruk’s side will be seeking maximum points to round off another successful season, though they will have to do so without their prolific Nigerian forward.
