Galatasaray’s star attacker, Victor Osimhen, has entered a more intensive phase of his convalescence as he nears a return to competitive action. The Nigerian international is currently on the mend following a forearm injury incurred during a high-profile UEFA Champions League fixture against Liverpool last month, an ailment that necessitated surgical intervention.
Having dedicated the previous week to specialized strength training and gymnasium work, the 27-year-old has now transitioned to outdoor exercises. A formal update released via Galatasaray’s official digital channels confirmed that the striker has commenced personalized running drills on the pitch under the close supervision of the club’s physiotherapy department.
This progression aligns with the medical staff’s projection for Osimhen to integrate back into full-squad training sessions by April 20. Should he meet this timeline without further setbacks, the formidable forward will be available for selection for the fiercely contested Intercontinental Derby against Fenerbahçe, which is scheduled to take place shortly after his return to the group.
While the “Yellow and Reds” look forward to the return of their leading offensive threat, the squad remains occupied with immediate SĂĽper Lig obligations. In Osimhen’s absence, Okan Buruk’s side is set to travel for a league encounter against Göztepe later today. The successful acceleration of the striker’s recovery serves as a major morale boost for the Istanbul giants as they navigate a critical period in both domestic and continental competitions.
