Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has been cleared to play in Sunday’s Turkish Super Lig derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.
The striker had caused concern after appearing with a protective brace on his arm during Galatasaray’s Turkish Cup match against Gençlerbirliği.
Fenerbahçe have reportedly lodged a complaint with the Turkish Football Federation, claiming the brace could pose a risk to other players.
However, the complaint was rejected after authorities confirmed that the protective gear was medically approved.
Osimhen is expected to feature in the high-stakes bout, which could have a major impact on the title race.
Galatasaray are currently top of the table, four points ahead of second-placed Fenerbahce.
The Nigerian forward has scored 12 goals and provided four assists in 19 league appearances this season.
