Galatasaray's Osimhen Set for Return Against Kasımpaşa
Turkish football pundit Berk Göl has urged Galatasaray to give striker Victor Osimhen playing time in their match against Kasımpaşa on October 9, 2026. Göl emphasized the importance of this match for Osimhen and the team as they prepare for a Champions League encounter with Barcelona on October 13.
Osimhen has been sidelined since sustaining a muscle strain in the right adductor area during a match against İstanbul Başakşehir on September 4, where he scored the opening goal. He returned to training on October 6 but did not participate in full team sessions.
Manager Okan Buruk plans to include Osimhen in the matchday squad, potentially allowing him to play for about 30 minutes. Osimhen missed several matches, including the Champions League opener against Sporting CP and league games against Kocaelispor and Trabzonspor, as well as Nigeria's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Before his injury, he had scored six goals and provided two assists in four Süper Lig matches.
