Galatasaray head coach has admitted uncertainty regarding the return date of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who has been sidelined due to injury. The Super Eagles forward, who joined the Turkish giants in a high-profile move, has been out of action for several weeks, raising concerns among fans and the club’s technical crew about his fitness and availability for upcoming fixtures.
Speaking to reporters, the coach explained that while Osimhen is undergoing medical assessments and rehabilitation, no definite timeline has been set for his return. He stressed that the club’s medical team is monitoring the situation closely, but cautioned that rushing the striker back into action could risk aggravating the injury.
Osimhen’s absence has been a huge blow for Galatasaray, as the prolific forward was brought in to bolster the team’s attack in both domestic and European competitions. His energy, goal-scoring prowess, and ability to stretch defenses have been sorely missed, with the team struggling to find a consistent rhythm in front of goal since his injury layoff.
The coach acknowledged that the club is working hard to manage without the Nigerian star but emphasized the importance of patience. “We want him back as soon as possible, but we must prioritize his health. There is no fixed date yet; we will wait for the doctors to give the green light,” he said.
Osimhen, who has been sharing updates on his recovery through social media, has reassured fans of his determination to return stronger. However, speculation continues to swirl among supporters and pundits over when he will be fully fit to rejoin the squad.
Galatasaray are currently facing a crucial period in their campaign, with important domestic league fixtures and European assignments on the horizon. The uncertainty surrounding Osimhen’s availability adds further pressure on the coach to find alternative attacking options and keep the team competitive.
For now, both the club and its supporters will have to wait for clarity from the medical team, as Galatasaray continue to navigate a challenging spell without one of their most influential players.
