In a touching display of solidarity, Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen honored his injured teammate Mauro Icardi after scoring an early goal against Samsunspor in the Turkish Super Lig. Osimhen, who has been in excellent form for Galatasaray, opened the scoring with a powerful header in the third minute. But it was his post-goal celebration that drew attention: the Nigerian forward held up a shirt with Icardi's name on it, sending a heartfelt message of support to the Argentine striker, who is sidelined for the remainder of the season due to an injury sustained during a UEFA Europa League match against Tottenham.
The tribute was warmly received by Icardi, who was watching from the stands. Osimhen had previously expressed his well-wishes for the injured forward on social media, assuring him that he would come back stronger from his injury. In his absence, Osimhen has stepped up, scoring seven goals in his first nine appearances for the club.
