Fenerbahce Reports Victor Osimhen Over Protective Bandage

Turkish club Fenerbahce has submitted an official complaint to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) regarding Nigerian star Victor Osimhen. The complaint centers on a custom-made, rigid bandage Osimhen has been wearing on his right forearm to protect a fracture sustained during a Champions League match in March. Fenerbahce contends that the protective gear is "overly rigid" and poses a safety risk to rival players.

The medical device is designed to immobilize Osimhen's wrist while allowing him to continue playing for Galatasaray. Fenerbahce’s move comes just days before a highly anticipated derby against Galatasaray, leading some to view the complaint as a psychological tactic ahead of the big game. Galatasaray’s medical staff has defended the use of the bandage, noting it was specifically designed to facilitate his return to the pitch while preventing further injury.

The TFF is expected to review the complaint today to determine if the gear complies with safety regulations. For Nigerian fans, the focus remains on Osimhen’s health and form as he continues to be the focal point of the Super Eagles' attack despite the administrative drama in Turkey.
