Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has announced that the club will assess Victor Osimhen’s fitness level before determining his availability for their upcoming match against Liverpool. Osimhen, who recently returned to action, made a brief appearance in the team’s 1-0 win over Alanyaspor on Friday night.

The Nigerian striker had missed Galatasaray’s previous three games due to an ankle injury sustained while on international duty earlier this month. Despite his return to the pitch, Buruk revealed that Osimhen is still experiencing pain. The coach stated that the team will closely evaluate the forward’s condition before deciding on his involvement in the next match.

Galatasaray is set to host Liverpool at Rams Park for a Champions League Matchday Two encounter on Tuesday. The match is highly anticipated, and Osimhen’s potential participation is a key factor in the team’s preparations. The striker’s fitness level will be carefully monitored in the coming days to ensure that he is ready for the challenging match ahead.

Osimhen’s injury had raised concerns about his availability for the crucial Champions League match. However, his cameo appearance against Alanyaspor has provided a positive indication of his recovery progress. The team’s medical staff will continue to work with the striker to manage his pain and ensure that he is in optimal condition for the upcoming game.

The Champions League match between Galatasaray and Liverpool is expected to be a closely contested encounter, with both teams seeking to secure vital points in the competition. The outcome of the match will depend on various factors, including team strategy, player performance, and overall fitness levels. As Galatasaray prepares to face Liverpool, the team’s coaching staff will be keenly focused on ensuring that all players, including Osimhen, are in top condition to compete at the highest level.
