Galatasaray are concerned about Victor Osimhen’s fitness ahead of their second-leg UEFA Champions League playoff match against Juventus.

Osimhen had a slight knee injury and missed Okan Buruk’s 2-0 loss to Konyaspor last weekend.

According to the club’s official website, the Nigeria international spent Sunday working out in the gym.

Galatasaray will head into the reverse fixture with a 5-2 advantage.

Osimhen registered two assists in the first leg.

The 27-year-old has scored six goals, and provided two assists in seven outings in the Champions League this season.
