Osimhen Set To Resume Training After Injury Layoff

Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen is expected to resume individual training before the end of this week as he continues his recovery from injury.

The Nigeria international sustained the injury during Galatasaray’s victory over Istanbul Başakşehir last month and has since missed the club’s last three matches across all competitions.

Osimhen was also ruled out of Nigeria’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.

According to Turkish newspaper Sabah, the 27-year-old’s treatment is progressing successfully, with his recovery reportedly on schedule.

Osimhen is expected to return to action for Galatasaray’s Turkish Super Lig clash against Kasımpaşa after the international break.

A return in that fixture could put him in contention to start Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League home clash against Barcelona.
