Osimhen Returns to Galatasaray Squad for Key Match
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been included in the Galatasaray matchday squad for their upcoming away fixture against relegation-threatened Gençlerbirliği. Osimhen has scored 12 goals in the Turkish Super Lig this season and has recovered from an arm injury sustained last month.
He reportedly informed Galatasaray's current coach, Okan Buruk, that he is ready to start the match. Galatasaray is seeking to strengthen its hold on the top of the league table, and Osimhen's return is expected to provide a significant boost to their attacking options.
The team's title push received a boost as their closest rival, Fenerbahçe, was held to a 2-2 draw against Aykur Rizespor, leaving Fenerbahçe in second place with 67 points, 30 matches into the season, and 10 points behind league leaders Galatasaray.
