Osimhen Nears Training Return After Missing Three Galatasaray Matches

3 hours ago·1 min

Victor Osimhen is on course to resume individual training sessions before the week is out, as the Galatasaray striker continues his rehabilitation from a recent injury setback.

The Nigeria international picked up the knock during Galatasaray's win over Istanbul Başakşehir last month. Since then, he has been absent for three consecutive matches for the Istanbul club across all competitions.

The injury also forced Osimhen to miss Nigeria's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau during the international break.

Turkish newspaper Sabah reports that the 27-year-old's treatment is progressing well and that his recovery remains on schedule — encouraging news for both club and country.

Return timed for Turkish Super Lig clash

Osimhen is expected to be fit in time for Galatasaray's Turkish Super Lig fixture against Kasımpaşa, which falls after the international break concludes.

Should he return in that match, Osimhen could push for a starting berth in Galatasaray's UEFA Champions League home tie against Barcelona — a fixture that carries enormous weight for the club's European campaign.
