Victor Osimhen was left out of the Galatasaray squad for the match against Gençlerbirliği, as clarified by the head coach of Galatasaray, Okan Buruk. Osimhen traveled with the team but was surprisingly omitted from the matchday squad, raising concerns among fans.

Buruk explained that the decision was precautionary, following signs of fatigue observed during training sessions.
