Victor Osimhen Injury: Serkan Balci blames striker's fear of losing for fitness woes
Former Trabzonspor star Serkan Balci has attributed Victor Osimhen's injury woes this season to his fear of losing matches.
The 27-year-old has struggled to stay fit this season, as he is currently recovering from a knee injury he sustained last week during Galatasaray's UEFA Champions League clash against Stuttgart.
The former Napoli striker will not be available for Nigeria's upcoming AFCON qualifier matches against Tanzania, after missing the first two matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau due to a groin injury.
Osimhen is, however, expected to return to action later this month against Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League.
