New statement from Galatasaray executive who called Osimhen's injury 'chronic'

During the November ordinary Divan Board meeting at Galatasaray, comments made by Second President Mehmet Cibara regarding Victor Osimhen's injury became a topic of discussion.

In his speech at the meeting, while addressing assessments that injuries were linked to the pitch surface, Cibara said, "There is no such thing as injuries being caused by the pitch. It has nothing to do with it. Leao's injury is something else entirely, and Osimhen's injury is a chronic thing. I won't say anything more about it. Because we are in the international break."

Following the controversy caused by these remarks, Cibara clarified the use of the word "chronic." The Galatasaray executive stated that he had made a mistake in his use of medical terminology and corrected his words.

Cibara stated, "I apologize. I am a mechanical engineer. I used an incorrect medical term. I said chronic instead of acute. I wanted to correct that. Osimhen does not have a chronic condition. Rest assured."
