Galatasaray Club President, Dursun Özbek, has provided an update on the status of striker Victor Osimhen ahead of the team’s highly anticipated Turkish Super Lig derby against Fenerbahce on Monday. Osimhen, who has been sidelined due to an injury sustained while playing for Nigeria during the last international break, has missed the club’s last two matches, including a Champions League defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise.

According to Özbek, Osimhen has recovered from his injury and will be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Fenerbahçe. In an interview with Ekol TV, Özbek confirmed Osimhen’s return, stating, “Osimhen will be in the squad. He was the target.” The president also expressed optimism about the team’s overall readiness, noting that other players who have returned from injury will likely be part of the squad as well.

Osimhen’s return is a significant boost for Galatasaray, given his impressive performance for the club this season in all competitions. The 26-year-old striker has been a key player for the team, and his absence was felt in the recent Champions League defeat. With Osimhen back in the squad, Galatasaray will be looking to field a strong team against Fenerbahçe, a crucial match in the Turkish Super Lig.

The derby match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe is one of the most highly anticipated fixtures in Turkish football, with both teams vying for top positions in the league. The inclusion of Osimhen in the squad is expected to give Galatasaray an edge, and the team will be looking to capitalize on his return to gain a crucial win. As the team prepares to take on Fenerbahçe, Özbek’s confirmation of Osimhen’s return has provided a welcome boost to the squad’s morale and chances of success.
