Galatasaray Rest Victor Osimhen for Turkish Cup Tie

Galatasaray has opted to rest Victor Osimhen for the Turkish Cup tie against Alanyaspor scheduled for tonight. This decision comes after Osimhen's recent performance, where he scored a goal and provided an assist in Galatasaray's 3-1 victory over Alanyaspor in a Super Lig fixture.

The Turkish champions are currently leading their group in the cup championship with a nine-point advantage over Alanyaspor, who are in second place with seven points. The congested schedule ahead includes six matches over 19 days, featuring two legs of the UEFA Champions League against Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Paul Onuachu, the top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig this season, will lead Trabzonspor in their cup clash against Basaksehir. Additionally, Wilfred Ndidi, the captain of the Super Eagles, has just returned to Turkey after mourning his late father and will not participate until Wednesday when Besiktas faces Rizespor in the cup competition.
