The Digest:
Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahçe has reportedly filed a complaint against Galatasaray over Victor Osimhen's use of a protective mask, claiming it poses a danger to opposing players. Osimhen returned to action on Wednesday night after over a month out with an arm injury, featuring for 13 minutes in Galatasaray's cup defeat. The Nigerian striker has worn a protective mask since sustaining serious facial injuries while playing for Napoli in 2021, which required titanium plates and 18 screws.
Key Points:
- Osimhen clashed heads with Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar, fracturing his cheekbone and eye socket.
- He was sidelined for three months after surgery.
- Fenerbahçe's medical team is preparing a report on materials allowed under IFAB rules.
- Galatasaray leads the Super Lig with 71 points, four ahead of Fenerbahçe.
- Sunday's derby could be a title decider with four matches remaining.
