Victor Osimhen will be absent from Galatasaray’s Europa League playoff encounter with Dutch club AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, Afrosport reports.
Osimhen has been suspended from the game at the AFAS Stadion in the Netherlands, and will miss the first leg clash between the two teams due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

The 26-year-old picked up three bookings in the league phase, including receiving a yellow card in their previous match against Ajax. He was cautioned in Galatasaray’s final three games against Ajax, Alkmaar and Dynamo Kyiv.
Osimhen, who has scored five goals in the competition this season, will, however, be available for the reverse fixture next week at RAMS Park.
