Osimhen set to return for Galatasaray in Turkish Cup clash vs Gençlerbirliği
Victor Osimhen will return to action for Galatasaray in Wednesday’s Turkish Cup quarter-final against Gençlerbirği, DAILY POST reports. The Nigerian striker missed Galatasaray’s last four league games due to an arm injury but resumed full training on Monday and Tuesday (today). According to Turkish newspaper Sabah, Osimhen is expected to play 15‑20 minutes in the cup tie, a step toward full fitness ahead of Sunday’s intercontinental derby against title rivals Fenerbahçe.
Osimhen’s presence is crucial for Galatasaray’s attacking options as they chase both domestic and European success. His limited minutes aim to build match sharpness without risking re‑injury, especially given the physical nature of the derby clash. Fans and fantasy managers should note that while he may not start, his cameo could influence the cup outcome and signal his readiness for the high‑stakes Fenerbahçe encounter.
Will Osimhen’s short burst of play be enough to regain his goal‑touching form for the derby, or will Galatasaray need to rely on other attackers until he reaches full match fitness?
