Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen has become the center of a medical controversy ahead of the Intercontinental Derby after rivals Fenerbache filed a formal complaint with the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). Fenerbache submitted an application questioning the safety of the protective arm device Osimhen wears following surgery last month. Citing consultations with international experts, Fenerbache claimed the device poses a health risk to the Nigerian striker. Osimhen wore the apparatus during his 12-minute appearance in Galatasaray's Turkish Cup defeat to Genclerbirligi on Wednesday. The move comes as Galatasaray lead the Super Lig, with Fenerbache trailing by four points with four matches remaining. The high-stakes derby is set to take place on Sunday.
