Okan Buruk Praises Victor Osimhen's Impact at Galatasaray

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk revealed that Victor Osimhen's presence is crucial to the team, offering more than just goals. Osimhen has been sidelined since he was injured in the first half of Galatasaray's 3-2 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir during matchday four.

In his absence, Galatasaray faced a 3-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon but managed to secure a 1-0 win against Kocaelispor. Following the match against Kocaelispor, Buruk expressed how much the team misses Osimhen, highlighting his role in the team's pressing structure, physical presence, and psychological impact.

Buruk confirmed that the club is closely monitoring Osimhen's recovery and will evaluate him before deciding on his participation in the upcoming match against Trabzonspor. Buruk acknowledged that Osimhen's skills would have significantly aided the team but praised the performance of the other players in his absence.
