“During the examinations performed today at our sponsor hospital for our A-Team player Victor Osimhen, a moderate sprain (stretching and bleeding) was detected in his ankle ligaments and the necessary treatment has been initiated to ensure our player returns to the field as soon as possible.”

According to journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, the star football player is expected to return to the field within two weeks.
