Osimhen Returns To Training Boosting Galatasaray Title Push

Victor Osimhen has handed Galatasaray a timely boost after returning to full training ahead of their crucial league fixture against Gençlerbirliği.

The Super Eagles striker had been sidelined after sustaining an arm injury during Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League clash with Liverpool last month, an issue that required surgical intervention. His absence was keenly felt, with the Istanbul giants struggling for consistency in attack, losing two of their last three league matches.

Osimhen was spotted training with his teammates on Wednesday, albeit with a heavily bandaged arm, signalling that while he is not yet at full physical comfort, his return to competitive action is imminent. Manager Okan Buruk will be hopeful that the prolific forward can quickly rediscover his sharpness as the title race intensifies.

With just two points separating Galatasaray from fierce rivals Fenerbahçe, the timing of Osimhen’s recovery could prove decisive. The 27-year-old has been in outstanding form this season, contributing 19 goals and five assists in 29 appearances across all competitions, underlining his importance to the Yellow and Reds’ attacking fortunes.
