Osimhen Set for Galatasaray Return April 18 Vs Gençlerbirliği

Galatasaray received a timely lift as head coach Okan Buruk confirmed that star striker Victor Osimhen is set to rejoin the squad.

The Nigerian forward, who has been sidelined, resumed training this week and was present at Rams Park to watch the Kocaelispor clash. His appearance drew significant attention from fans, even as the 1-1 draw dampened morale.

Speaking after the match, Buruk officially announced that Osimhen is expected to be included in the squad for the upcoming Gençlerbirliği fixture.

‘We hope that Victor Osimhen will be in the squad for the Gençlerbirliği match,’ Buruk said.

While the plan is for Osimhen to start from the bench in that game, he is widely tipped to return to the starting eleven in the highly anticipated Fenerbahçe derby.

The development comes as a major boost for Galatasaray, who have struggled for consistency in recent weeks. Osimhen’s return is seen as crucial to their attacking strength heading into the decisive phase of the season.
