Black Stars: Ibrahim Osman to miss UCL second leg tie against Inter Milan
Ghana forward Ibrahim Osman will miss the return leg of the UEFA Champions League tie between Dutch side Feyenoord and Italian side Inter Milan.
The 20 year old player will miss the second matchup between the clubs that is scheduled to take place in Milan on March 11 after picking up a yellow card in the first leg that ended in a 2-0 win for Inter.
Inter Milan strikers Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez scored in each half to give the Italia club a significant advantage heading into the upcoming round.
Black Stars player Osman was booked in the 76th minute for a late foul on Milan Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries. The booking is Osman’s third in seven Champions League outings in the 2024-2025 season after getting booked in games against Girona and RB Salzburg at the group stage. Osman played out the full duration of the game which marked recently appointed Feyenoord head coach Robin Van Persie’s debut in the competition. In 90 minutes, Osman completed 14 of 18 passes, created a big chance and registered three shots on target. Competing in his debut season with the Dutch giants, Osman has three goals and two assists in 25 games in all competitions. He is in contention to be named to the Black Stars for upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup games against Chad and Madagascar on March 21 and 24 respectively.
