Galatasaray have handed a major boost to their title hopes by including Victor Osimhen in the squad for Saturday’s league match against Gençlerbirliği, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Nigeria striker has not played since March after suffering a forearm fracture during a Champions League game against Liverpool, but he is now back in training and ready to play a part.

His return comes at a crucial time in the Turkish Süper Lig season. With just five matches left, Galatasaray are under pressure to maintain their narrow lead at the top of the table. Their advantage has been cut to just two points, and any slip could open the door for fierce rivals Fenerbahçe.

Osimhen’s importance to the team has been clear throughout the campaign. Before his injury, he was in excellent form, scoring 19 goals and providing seven assists in 29 appearances across all competitions. His energy, movement and finishing have made him the focal point of Galatasaray’s attack.
