Galatasaray: Rafael Leão’s injury more serious than Osimhen’s — Küçük

Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük has revealed that Rafael Leão’s injury is more serious than the one sustained by Victor Osimhen.

Leão suffered a high-grade right hamstring injury during Galatasaray’s Süper Lig match against Amedspor at the weekend, while Osimhen picked up a knee injury in the Champions League clash against Stuttgart.

Providing an update on both players, Küçük discussed their medical situations on the 343 Digital YouTube channel.

He said: “Rafael Leao’s situation is more serious than Osimhen’s.”

Küçük added: “Looking at Rafael Leao’s medical report, we see a severe strain and bleeding. If it is mild, a two-week treatment period is anticipated. If it is moderate, three to four weeks, and if it is severe, six to eight weeks.”

According to the journalist, Galatasaray’s medical board has set a four-week treatment period for Leão, followed by training and strengthening exercises. The target is for the winger to return to action within five to six weeks.
