Galatasaray Struggles Without Victor Osimhen, Coach Says

Galatasaray's current coach, Okan Buruk, expressed concerns regarding the team's performance without striker Victor Osimhen, who is sidelined due to a forearm injury sustained during the first half of a Champions League match at Anfield. The team has faced difficulties, managing only four points from a possible nine in their last three matches, including a recent 1-1 draw against Kocaelispor.

Buruk's worries are echoed by Turkish football analyst Mustafa Denizli, who noted that Osimhen's influence extends beyond just scoring goals. As a result of these struggles, Galatasaray's lead in the Turkish Super Lig has been reduced to two points over Fenerbahce.

The medical team is working to ensure Osimhen's fitness ahead of a crucial derby against Fenerbahce scheduled for April 26, 2026.
