The injuries are a setback for Galatasaray, with both players regarded as important members of the squad and expected to play significant roles during the season.

Osimhen has been a key attacking figure for the Turkish club, while Lemina provides experience and strength in midfield.

The extent of their respective injuries means Galatasaray will now monitor their recovery closely before determining when they can return to full training and competitive action.
