Transfer Status: Osimhen Out Of Gaziantep FK Match

Less than 48 hours after making his Super Lig and Galatasaray debut, Super Eagles ace Victor Osimhen has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against Gaziantep FK, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Osimhen, who's on a season-long loan from Napoli, was an instant hit for the Yellow and Red, helping Galatasaray to a resounding 5-0 home win over Rizespor. The Super Lig fixture against Gaziantep FK, billed for the Rams Park Stadyumu, is a rescheduled Matchday 3 game. It was postponed by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) owing to Galatasaray's involvement in the Champions League playoffs against Young Boys. The TFF has given a reason why the Nigerian won't play against Gaziantep FK; this was due to his transfer status. So he's ineligible to play, as he didn't make his move before Matchday 3. Recall Osimhen completed his move to Galatasaray a few days before the close of the Turkish transfer window.
