The Turkish Football Federation faces a tough decision.

Details: According to HT Spor, Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe is preparing an official complaint regarding the protective mask worn by Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen ahead of their Sunday showdown.

Fenerbahçe reportedly believes that Osimhen's mask is too rigid and poses a danger to opposing players, suggesting that a collision could inflict serious harm on unprotected opponents.

Fenerbahçe's medical staff are already compiling medical reports and studies to be used as evidence in the case.

This season, Osimhen has made 30 appearances for Galatasaray, scoring 19 goals and providing 7 assists. At the moment, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are locked in a head-to-head battle for the league title. Galatasaray tops the table, four points clear of Fenerbahçe.
