ToriExpress News reports that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is set to return to full training on April 20, just days before Galatasaray’s crucial domestic clash against Fenerbahce on April 26.
According to reports from other outlets, Osimhen is progressing well in his recovery from the forearm injury he sustained during last month’s UEFA Champions League encounter with Liverpool. Galatasaray suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat in the second leg, as the Premier League side advanced 4-1 on aggregate.
The 27-year-old Nigerian forward underwent surgery shortly after the match and has since been working through his rehabilitation away from the main squad.
His anticipated return comes at a vital moment for coach Okan Buruk, with Galatasaray currently locked in a tight title race. The team recently suffered a 2-1 defeat to Trabzonspor, highlighting their struggles in attack without their top scorer.
Osimhen has been a key figure for Galatasaray this season, registering 19 league goals and seven assists in 29 appearances. His pace, strength, and pressing ability have made him one of the most influential players in Turkish football.
