Osimhen Out of Gençlerbirliği Clash

Galatasaray has been dealt a heavy blow with the news that Victor Osimhen will miss the crucial Gençlerbirliği clash.

The Nigerian striker, who left the pitch during the Democratic Congo match due to a hamstring injury, is set to return to Istanbul on Wednesday for further medical checks.

Although the severity of the injury will be clarified after an MRI, the technical staff has already decided not to risk him in Saturday’s Süper Lig fixture.

Their focus is on ensuring Osimhen’s recovery in time for the Champions League showdown against Union SG on November 25, which they hope he can feature in.

Until then, Mauro Icardi will carry the attacking responsibility, especially with the potentially explosive Fenerbahçe derby looming on December 1.
