Victor Osimhen‘s potential return from injury is a hot topic at Galatasaray, as the Nigerian striker’s absence was felt in their recent games.
Osimhen sustained an injury during Galatasaray’s 3-2 victory over Sivasspor in the Trendyol Süper Lig, forcing him off with just 16 minutes remaining.
His absence in the UEFA Europa League clash against Malmo was noticeable, with Michy Batshuayi struggling to make an impact as the Lions settled for a 2-2 draw in Sweden.
Galatasaray insider Burhan Can Terzi has provided updates on Osimhen’s fitness.
Speaking to haber sari kirmizi, Terzi suggested the striker could return as early as Monday for the crucial Süper Lig fixture against Trabzonspor at RAMS Park.
He explained, “Osimhen can play if he forces himself, but it may not be worth the risk. The decision will be made by the player and the technical staff.”
Terzi also mentioned that Jakobs and Kaan Ayhan are expected to feature in the same game.
