Turkish Super Lig club, Galatasaray is implementing a specialised training programme to expedite the recovery of Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen.

He is determined to train in pain to be fit for the Alanyaspor match and to step onto the pitch against Liverpool.

Galatasaray manager, Okan Buruk addressed Osimhen’s situation, confirming that after returning from injury sustained while with the national team, he still feels some discomfort.

“He participated in part of the training on Sunday and underwent an MRI examination on Monday. While he is dealing with some minor aches and pains, if he can manage the discomfort, we fully expect him to be included in the squad for the Alanyaspor match. He will definitely be ready for the game against Liverpool.”

The technical staff is closely monitoring Osimhen’s conditions in training, ensuring his pain is effectively managed. Okan Buruk asserted, “We will rigorously assess him in training. Although he is still in some discomfort, if he shows progress, he will be included in the squad.”

The highly anticipated Galatasaray-Liverpool match is set for Tuesday, September 30th, and the fans eagerly await Osimhen’s performance on the field.
