Star striker Victor Osimhen will be available for Saturday’s Turkish Super Lig matchup against Beşiktaş, Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has told supporters.
With the lone goal in Galatasaray’s 1-0 Champions League triumph over Liverpool in the middle of the week, Osimhen was the hero. But when he was substituted for Mauro Icardi with 19 minutes remaining in the second half, questions were raised.
Osimhen was excluded from the team’s final practice before the derby, raising new concerns about his health as he only recently recovered from an ankle ailment that kept him out of action last month.
Buruk told reporters that the decision was made only as a precaution. He reportedly stated, “Osimhen doesn’t have any serious problems,” according to Habersarikirmizi. After a long period, he played a match. He was exhausted and had cramps. He was given a break at the most recent training session, and we anticipate that he will join the team for the upcoming one.
Galatasaray needs the 26-year-old’s presence because of his speed and finishing prowess, which constantly threaten defenders. As Buruk’s team gets ready for one of the most anticipated games in the Turkish calendar, his availability will be a tremendous help.
