Osimhen sends message to injured partner
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Mauro Icardi’s season-ending injury was a dark spot in Galatasaray’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur on matchday four of the UEFA Europa League, and Osimhen sent him a message.
Osimhen and Icardi have developed a great understanding since the Super Eagles forward joined the Turkish champions on a season-long loan from SSC Napoli.
There are initial concerns he might have torn his anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that has become rampant in football recently as agitations continue over the overloaded schedule.
