Osimhen Returns To Galatasaray Training After Injury

Galatasaray received a boost Thursday as Victor Osimhen returned to group training in Turkey after recovering from an adductor injury, with the striker nearing a possible comeback before matches against Kasımpaşa and Barcelona. The move gives coach Okan Buruk his main attacking option again. According to beIN Sports, Osimhen completed his rehabilitation process and resumed work with the squad after spending several weeks sidelined.

He was injured during Galatasaray's win over Başakşehir in Matchday 4 of the Süper Lig. The Nigerian forward had made a strong start before the setback, scoring six goals and providing two assists in his first four league appearances, according to beIN Sports. His eight direct goal contributions highlighted his importance to Galatasaray's attack.

Osimhen's return comes as Galatasaray prepares for a demanding schedule. The club is set to face Kasımpaşa in the Süper Lig before turning attention to a UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona, according to beIN Sports and Sports Yahoo.

Sports Yahoo reported that Osimhen's return to partial group work opened the possibility of being available for the Barcelona fixture. The report cited a recovery update from Diario Sport regarding the striker's progress after his absence. Galatasaray is also monitoring the condition of Wilfried Singo, who has been working individually before a full return to team training, according to beIN Sports. Osimhen's next step is regaining match rhythm after his injury interruption.
