Victor Osimhen has returned to training with Galatasaray, marking a strong step in his recovery after an arm injury that initially sidelined him for weeks.

The Nigerian striker had been expected to stay out for up to six weeks, but his recovery has moved faster than projected, giving the club a timely boost as the season enters a decisive stretch.

According to Galatasaray, Osimhen has now rejoined team sessions while continuing a specialised rehabilitation programme supervised by the club’s medical team. The approach allows him to regain match fitness without risking a setback.

His return to the pitch, even in a controlled setting, signals progress and offers relief for a side that has had to adjust its attacking options in his absence.

There is growing confidence within the club that he will be fit enough to feature in the upcoming league fixture against Gençlerbirliği next weekend, a timeline that once looked unlikely.

For Osimhen, the focus now is clear complete recovery, regain sharpness, and return to full competitive action without complications.
