Victor Osimhen displayed a touching gesture on Sunday, dedicating his two goals in Galatasaray's 3-2 victory over Samsunspor to his injured teammate, Mauro Icardi. The Nigerian striker scored early, giving his team a lead just three minutes into the Turkish Super Lig Game Week 12 match, and added another in the 55th minute after Jules Ntcham’s penalty equalized for the visitors. Celebrating his goals, Osimhen lifted Icardi’s shirt in front of the fans at RAMS Park in Istanbul, showing his support.

The 25-year-old, who joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli in September, has quickly become a key player, tallying six league goals in as many games and eight across all competitions. His partnership with Icardi and former Napoli teammate Dries Mertens has made Galatasaray’s attack one of the most formidable in the league.

Icardi, however, faces a challenging recovery after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in Galatasaray’s recent 3-2 Europa League win over Tottenham Hotspur. The Argentine, who had already dealt with a muscle injury earlier this season, was stretchered off during Thursday’s game. Galatasaray confirmed that Icardi, 31, has meniscus damage and is scheduled for surgery, with rehabilitation already underway.

Currently, Galatasaray leads the Turkish Super Lig and holds third place in their Europa League group, maintaining a strong position both domestically and in Europe.
