Fenerbahce do not want Victor Osimhen to taste action in Sunday’s Istanbul derby and are ready to file a complaint to the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) to initiate his removal.
Fenerbahce will visit the Rams Park with the hope of taking all three points from Galatasaray who are topping the league table, and they see Osimhen as a threat to their ambition. Galatasaray are on 71 points, while second placed Fenerbahce have 67 points.
According to reports by Fanatik, Fenerbahçe are worried that Osimhen’s cast bandage to protect his injured right arm poses a risk to the safety of their players.
Osimhen returned for Galatasaray Wednesday night in Galatasaray 2-0 Turkish Cup loss to Gençlerbirliği.
But Fenerbahce’s medical team has compiled a detailed report assessing the materials permitted under International Football Association Board regulations, strengthening their position ahead of the formal submission.
With four matches remaining in the 2025-2026 Super Lig season, the Intercontinental Derby could prove decisive in determining whether the title race is effectively settled.
