Champions League: Victor Osimhen faces possible suspension

Victor Osimhen is among eight Galatasaray players who are just one booking away from a Champions League suspension. If he picks up another card in the home clash with Liverpool, he'll automatically miss the return leg.

Victor Osimhen was shown a yellow card in the playoff second leg against Juventus. The Nigerian remains a key figure for Galatasaray, having scored seven goals this season and carrying his team's attacking hopes into this Round of 16 showdown.

The two teams face off this Tuesday for the second time this season. In their previous group stage encounter, Osimhen clinched a 1-0 victory for his side with a penalty converted in the 16th minute.
