Osimhen's Fitness Race for Fenerbahçe Clash Intensifies

Victor Osimhen is in a fitness race to be ready for Galatasaray's clash against Fenerbahçe. After sidelining for a month due to an arm injury, he completed a full training session last week but missed the last game against Gençlerbirliği.

Turkish reports suggest he may be included in the squad for Wednesday's Turkish Cup quarter-final against Gençlerbirliği, although the priority remains to ensure he is fit for the derby on Sunday. Turkish journalist Leyman Rodop revealed that Osimhen will undergo a late fitness test on Friday, with coach Okan Buruk preparing two different game plans depending on whether Osimhen or Mauro Icardi will start.

The final decision on Osimhen's participation will be made after a specific training session this week. Osimhen joined Galatasaray in a permanent deal worth €75 million last summer and has made a significant impact, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists in 19 league appearances, while currently trailing Icardi, who leads the club's scoring chart with 13 goals in 27 matches.
