Osimhen Ahead of Schedule: Galatasaray Star Nears Return
12 Apr
Summary
- Victor Osimhen is nearing a return after surgery on his fractured arm.
- Osimhen's comeback is expected sooner than the initial five to six weeks.
- The striker has begun running and may be available for the next match.
Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen is progressing exceptionally well in his recovery from a fractured arm sustained earlier this season. The Nigerian striker recently underwent successful surgery and has now begun rehabilitation, including running drills. Head coach Okan Buruk has indicated that Osimhen's return to the pitch might occur sooner than the initially projected five to six weeks post-operation.
While it is unlikely Osimhen will feature this coming weekend, there is a possibility he could be included in the squad for the Gençlerbirliği match. The team is hopeful for his return, with the intercontinental derby against rivals Fenerbahce on April 26 also a potential target. His active participation in training segments, followed by specialized indoor sessions, signals a positive trajectory for his comeback.
Galatasaray is currently in a tight race for the Turkish Super League title. The team aims to extend their lead over Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor with only five matches remaining. Osimhen's potential early return provides a crucial boost as the club strives for their fourth consecutive league championship.
