Galatasaray's Gomez Warns Barcelona About Osimhen's Fitness
Galatasaray assistant coach Ismael Garcia Gomez issued a warning to Barcelona regarding Victor Osimhen's readiness for their UEFA Champions League group stage match on October 13, 2026. The match will take place at Rams Park in Istanbul, with kick-off scheduled for 8 PM.
Osimhen, who had been sidelined for over a month due to a groin injury, recently returned to training and completed a full session with the squad. Gomez expressed confidence in Osimhen's ability to impact the game, suggesting that Barcelona's defensive strategy could play to the striker's strengths.
Historically, Osimhen has faced Barcelona four times, scoring once and providing one assist, but has not won any of those encounters. Despite this, Gomez's remarks indicate that Galatasaray views this match as a significant opportunity for Osimhen to showcase his talent on a major European stage.
