Osimhen's Return to Galatasaray Boosts Team Prospects

Victor Osimhen is close to returning to Galatasaray after a month-long injury layoff, which began during a 3-2 win over Basaksehir in late September, where he scored before limping off. His absence has included three official fixtures and one friendly, as well as missing Nigeria's international commitments.

In the four matches he played this season, Osimhen contributed six goals and two assists, helping Galatasaray secure three wins and one draw. In stark contrast, the team has only one win from three games without him, including a 3-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in their Champions League opener.

Coach Okan Buruk expressed relief at Osimhen's potential return, with the club evaluating his fitness for a match against Kasimpasa, aiming for him to be ready for a subsequent game against Barcelona.
