Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray have confirmed that their technical staff frequently speaks to Super Eagles star forward Victor Osimhen by phone.

Galatasaray is being particularly cautious to prevent Osimhen from experiencing the same injury problems he had while playing for the national team.

As the excitement builds for the Africa Cup of Nations, Galatasaray has heightened its security measures to the highest level.

Osimhen has been closely monitored by the technical staff throughout the Super Eagles’ training camps and matches.

Following Osimhen’s recent injuries, the club management and coaching staff don’t want to leave things to chance this time.

Accordingly, the Galatasaray technical staff prepared a special monitoring program for the Nigerian during his time with the Super Eagles matches..

His fitness levels, training load levels, and potential risks of impact or injury will be monitored in real time.
