Victor Osimhen will be fit for action against Fenerbache in the Intercontinental Derby against Fenerbache on December 1 after he returned to Turkish champions Galatasaray with a hamstring complaint from Super Eagles duty.
“He will play in the Fenerbache Derby,” reported Turkish journalist Yakup Cinar.
“Osimhen MRI scan was performed…his condition will improve. There’s no reason to worry.”
