Victor Osimhen Is Back With Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen is beginning to put behind him the injury that halted a spectacular start to the season with Galatasaray. The Nigerian striker is back training with the team after scoring six goals in his first four Süper Lig matches.
Good news for Galatasaray. Victor Osimhen has taken an important step in his recovery and returned to training with the squad as the team prepares to face Kasımpaşa in Matchday 7 of the Süper Lig.
The Nigerian striker has completed his rehabilitation process and is back working under Okan Buruk, increasing the possibility that he could return to the squad after spending several weeks on the sidelines.
His return is an important boost for the Galatasaray coach, who lost his main attacking reference while the striker was enjoying one of the hottest scoring stretches in the league.
Osimhen suffered an injury during the victory over Başakşehir on Matchday 4, a physical setback that brought his spectacular start to the season to a sudden stop.
Six Goals in Four Games Before the Injury
The injury came precisely when Osimhen was on fire.
The striker had started the season as one of the standout players in the Süper Lig, recording six goals and two assists in just four matches before being sidelined.
In total, the Nigerian was directly involved in eight goals across his first four league appearances, numbers that highlight just how important he is to the Galatasaray attack.
Beyond his goals, Osimhen had once again established himself as the main reference inside the penalty area for Buruk's side, providing depth, physical presence, and a constant threat to opposing defenses.
Okan Buruk Gets His Leading Striker Back
The next step will be determining whether Osimhen is ready to return immediately to the starting lineup or whether the coaching staff will choose to manage his minutes against Kasımpaşa.
The schedule is beginning to intensify for Galatasaray, with important matches coming up in both the Süper Lig and the UEFA Champions League, where the Turkish side is set to face Barcelona.
Getting Osimhen back ahead of that demanding run of fixtures is a major boost for Buruk, especially considering the level the striker had reached before his injury.
There has also been progress with Wilfried Singo, although the full-back continues to work individually before fully rejoining team training.
For Osimhen, the objective now is to regain his rhythm and pick up exactly where he left off. Six goals in four matches had made the Nigerian one of the hottest strikers in the league before the injury interrupted his outstanding form.
