Galatasaray Rests Osimhen for Turkish Cup Match
Galatasaray has opted to rest Nigerian international Victor Osimhen for their Turkish Cup tie against Alanyaspor, scheduled for Tuesday. This decision comes as the club aims to conclude their group campaign in the Ziraat Turkish Cup with a flawless record, having won three out of four group stage matches.
The Turkish champions are currently balancing a fierce Super Lig title race and the UEFA Champions League knockout stage, with their last Turkish Cup win dating back to 2019. An official statement from the club indicated that resting Osimhen is part of their strategy to manage player fitness during a congested schedule that includes six matches over 19 days, featuring a two-legged UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Liverpool.
Osimhen had recently scored and assisted in a 3-1 league victory against Alanyaspor and emphasized the importance of maintaining focus as the team approaches critical matches that will shape their season.
