Est. Return 10/13/2026
Will miss Champions League opener
Lemina is expected to miss around three weeks with an adductor strain, ruling him out for the Champions League opener at Sporting, Kutlu Akpinar reports.
ANALYSIS
Lemina is expected to miss around three weeks after sustaining an adductor strain, with the projected absence covering Galatasaray's Champions League opener at Sporting. His absence could prompt a reshuffle, with Gabriel Sara expected to be considered for a deeper midfield role and Aleksey Batrakov potentially moving into attacking midfield, while Rafael Leao is also a genuine option to come into the lineup if fit enough following his return from injury. Lemina's recovery will depend on his response to treatment, and with the September international break falling inside that window he could be back in contention around the resumption, with the Barcelona fixture on Oct. 13 his likely European return.

ANALYSIS
Lemina is dealing with an undisclosed injury, but there's a chance he won't play for the Molineux side ever again. That said, the fee would be relatively small as his contract is up in the summer.
