Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen will miss tonight’s  Galatasaray UEFA Champions League tie at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Osimhen who sprained  his ankle on international duty with the Super Eagles against Rwanda in Uyo,  has not recovered fully to make the trip to Germany.

Many had expected him to come through for this game, but coach Okan Buruk has insisted he will not risk the star striker as there are seven other matches in the group phase of the Champions League for Galatasaray.

However, fellow striker Mauro Icardi has been certified fit for the match.

Osimhen has thus far missed a Turkish Super Lig match against Eyupspor at the weekend.
