Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen Needs Time to Regain Form
Victor Osimhen, a striker for Galatasaray, is advised by former Fenerbahçe forward Bülent Uygun to exercise patience as he recovers from a groin strain sustained in early September during a Süper Lig match against İstanbul Başakşehir. This injury sidelined Osimhen for three consecutive club games, including a European match against Sporting, and also excluded him from Nigeria's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar during the October international break.
Although he returned to play on October 9, providing an assist in a 3-1 victory over Kasımpaşa, he has not scored since. Uygun pointed out that Osimhen's eagerness to perform, combined with poor physical coordination and frustration towards teammates, indicates he is not yet ready.
He noted that Osimhen struggled with footwork even when presented with scoring opportunities, emphasizing the impact of his recent serious injury on his current form.
