Osimhen Return for Gençlerbirliği ‘Will Be Difficult’ – Galatasaray coach Buruk

Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk has admitted that Victor Osimhen’s return for this weekend’s match “will be difficult,” but said the Nigerian striker could be in the squad for the Gençlerbirliği match the following week.

Osimhen has been sidelined for three weeks with a hand injury sustained during Galatasaray’s Champions League clash against Liverpool, requiring surgery. Buruk said the primary goal is to have Osimhen fully fit for the Istanbul derby against Fenerbahçe on April 26.

Key Points:

Osimhen has started running and is on the right path to recovery.
He will wear a special protective brace on his hand upon return.
Galatasaray secured a 3-1 win against Göztepe without Osimhen.
Buruk may skip the Gençlerbirliği match to save Osimhen for Fenerbahçe.
Osimhen is described as Galatasaray’s “best player.”
