Osimhen's Injury Impacts Galatasaray's Title Hopes

Victor Osimhen, a key striker for Galatasaray, has been sidelined since March 18 due to an arm injury sustained during a UEFA Champions League playoff against Liverpool. His absence has significantly affected the team's performance, as they have managed only one win in their last three matches, accumulating four points out of a possible nine.

Currently, Galatasaray leads the Turkish Super Lig with 68 points, just two points ahead of Fenerbahçe and three points ahead of Trabzonspor. Osimhen has missed a total of 11 matches across the league and Champions League due to injury, contributing to the team's struggles, which include four losses and two draws in that period.

Coach Okan Buruk is under pressure to reintegrate Osimhen into the squad, as the team has dropped 16 points during his absence. Osimhen began non-contact training last week and is expected to be fully fit for the upcoming match against Gençlerbirliği, with hopes to play in the crucial derby against Fenerbahçe next week.
