Icardi was carried off the field on a stretcher in the 85th minute of Galatasaray's 3-2 victory in Istanbul on Thursday night.

The 31-year-old Argentine has scored six goals in 13 games this season in all competitions.

Icardi joined the Turkish powerhouse early in the 2022-23 season on a one-year loan from Paris Saint-Germain and the following summer completed a permanent transfer by signing a three-year contract.

Icardi was a prolific scorer in six seasons at Inter Milan, where he netted 124 goals in 219 games before moving to PSG.
