Galatasaray fans and stakeholders were gripped with subtle concern when Victor Osimhen was substituted during the Turkish Süper Lig clash against Sivasspor.

The Nigerian forward, who had just moments earlier etched his name into the club's history, requested to be taken off after appearing to suffer a strain in his thigh muscles.
