Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was taken to hospital following a car accident in Turkey after Trabzonspor’s 2-0 victory over Hearts in the Conference League on Thursday.

The Cameroon international was reportedly rear-ended by another vehicle, with images from the scene appearing to show debris from the collision.

Onana was taken to hospital for medical checks but was later discharged after the results came back clear.

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan confirmed the incident while providing an update on the goalkeeper’s condition.

“Andre Onana was involved in a road traffic accident earlier this evening. There are no problems with him, and we wish him a speedy recovery.”

Onana has made an impressive start to life at the Turkish club, where he is spending a second spell on loan from Manchester United.

The 30-year-old started Thursday’s victory over Hearts, which followed Trabzonspor’s 4-2 win over Finnish side KuPS. The result also marked his fourth clean sheet in five games for the club.

Trabzonspor have enjoyed a strong run of form in recent weeks, defeating Turkish heavyweights Besiktas and Galatasaray by an aggregate score of 6-0.

The team will return to league action against Rizespor  today, affording giving Onana time to rest and recover before the fixture, depending on his condition following the accident.

Onana joined Manchester United from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023 for £43.8 million but struggled to establish himself consistently during his time at Old Trafford.

His position at the club came under pressure following the arrival of goalkeeper Senne Lammens, prompting his temporary move to Trabzonspor.

During his previous spell at Manchester United, Onana made 42 appearances and kept six clean sheets.

However, his return to Trabzonspor has offered signs of improvement, with the goalkeeper already approaching that clean-sheet tally as his side continues its positive start to the season.

Galatasaray midfielder Aleksey Batrakov has described Victor Osimhen as a perfectionist who will do anything to win, praising the Nigerian striker for his competitive spirit and willingness to celebrate his teammates’ achievements.

Batrakov recalled his first training session with the Turkish champions, when Osimhen demonstrated his determination to win during a mini-tournament among the players.

“Osimhen is a perfectionist. Top-notch in every sense. It was my first training session; we held a mini tournament among ourselves, and that’s where I understood what kind of perfectionist he is, how he always wants to win,” Batrakov said.

The Russian midfielder added that Osimhen’s gesture during the subsequent penalty shootout left a lasting impression on him.

“He will do anything to win. The match ended 2-2 and went to penalties. Osimhen gave me the final penalty; he said, ‘you take it.’ I scored, and he came running to me from the other end of the field to join in my celebration. It was an incredible gesture,” he said.

Batrakov’s comments come after Osimhen recently responded to criticism over his performances following his return from a groin injury, insisting that he remained confident in his abilities and was not afraid of challenges.

The Super Eagles striker ended his Champions League goal drought with a strike in Galatasaray’s 4-2 victory away to Lille on October 21, taking his tally in European competitions for the club to 14.

Osimhen had faced criticism from Turkish media and pundits after going three matches without scoring against Kas?mpa?a, Barcelona and Gençlerbirli?i. However, he dismissed suggestions that the scrutiny had affected him, insisting that nobody could dictate how he played.

The 27-year-old also emphasised that Galatasaray’s collective success mattered more than individual recognition, saying the club was bigger than any player.

Osimhen and Batrakov will now hope to help Galatasaray secure victory when they face rivals Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Süper Lig tonight.
