Buruk Misses Osimhen After Kocaelispor Victory
Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk publicly conveyed the significance of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to the team, stating that he is missed both as a player and as a presence on the pitch. Osimhen sustained an injury during Galatasaray's 3-2 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir and is expected to be out for up to three weeks.
Consequently, he has missed two matches: a 3-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League and a 1-0 league win against Kocaelispor, where Abdulkerim Badarkci scored the only goal. Buruk acknowledged the squad's depth but emphasized the impact of Osimhen's absence.
Looking ahead, Galatasaray's next match is against Trabzonspor, and Buruk expressed hope that Osimhen, alongside midfielder Mario Lemina, who is also recovering from injury, will be available for selection.
