The Nigeria international now has two goals and four assists for the Lions in four games since joining this summer.
However, his performance was cut short due to an injury sustained early in the second half.
Following a challenge, Osimhen signaled for a substitution and briefly re-entered the game after receiving medical attention. He was ultimately replaced by Dries Mertens.
This led to reports that Osimhen could be out for a few weeks but he has given an update regarding his status.
The striker underlined that the injury is not serious and that he asked to be taken off as a precaution.
“As a team, we are not happy with the result. We wanted 3 points. I’m happy to score, but I’m not happy because of the score. We’ll be better in the next match,” he said after the game.
“Football is like this, you don’t always get the points you deserve. We will work harder for the upcoming matches.
“We are on good terms with Mauro. He is a leader, protecting and protecting us all. Like a brother to me. We celebrate together. We will do more than all of us.
“My injury is not serious. I felt some pain. It could have been bad if I had continued.”
The draw kept Galatasaray top of the Super Lig table, three points ahead of second placed Fenerbahce.
