Galatasaray Threatening Even Without Osimhen, Says Silva
Rui Silva, the goalkeeper for Sporting CP, commented on the upcoming Champions League match against Galatasaray, emphasizing that the Turkish team poses a considerable threat even without their star forward, Victor Osimhen. Osimhen is sidelined due to a right adductor muscle injury sustained during Galatasaray's 3-2 victory over Başakşehir.
He has been excluded from the squad traveling to Portugal as he focuses on recovery. Before his injury, Osimhen had an impressive season start, contributing six goals and two assists, averaging two contributions per game.
Silva acknowledged Osimhen's exceptional skills but warned that Sporting must not underestimate Galatasaray's other attacking options. He mentioned that Galatasaray's manager, Okan Buruk, is expected to utilize Barış Alper Yılmaz as the striker to fill Osimhen's role in the match at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.
Last season, Osimhen had ten goal involvements in the Champions League.
