Galatasaray's Okan Buruk updates on Victor Osimhen's injury

Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has given an update on the recovery of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who is currently sidelined due to a knee injury sustained during Galatasaray's victory over Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League. Osimhen was unavailable for the Turkish Super Lig match against Amed SK, which Galatasaray won 4-3.

Buruk stated that the club has not established a definite timeline for Osimhen's return, emphasizing that his recovery will be assessed regularly. The international break has provided additional time for monitoring Osimhen's condition.

Buruk mentioned that while surgery on Osimhen was successful, the club has not provided a specific date for his return to competitive action. Osimhen is also expected to miss the upcoming league fixture against Samsunspor on November 21, 2026, which poses a challenge for Buruk in managing his attacking options.
