Victor Osimhen is expected to return to individual training before the end of this week as he continues his injury recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Galatasaray striker has been sidelined since suffering the injury during his side’s victory over Istanbul Ba\u015fak\u015fehir last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Osimhen has subsequently missed Galatasaray’s last three matches across all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The injury also forced the Nigeria international to withdraw from the Super Eagles squad for their matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there is now positive news regarding the striker’s recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Turkish newspaper Sabah, Osimhen’s treatment has progressed well, and he is expected to resume individual training shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 27-year-old could return to competitive action after the international break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Osimhen is reportedly expected to be available for Galatasaray’s Turkish S\u00fcper Lig meeting with Kasimpasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That match could give the striker a chance to regain match fitness before a much bigger European fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galatasaray are scheduled to face Barcelona at home in the UEFA Champions League, and Osimhen could be in contention to start if he completes his recovery without any setbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His potential return would be a major boost for the Turkish champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Osimhen has established himself as one of Galatasaray’s most important attacking players since joining the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His pace, movement and goalscoring ability have made him a key part of the team’s attacking plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The club will therefore be keen to avoid rushing him back before he is fully ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, Osimhen’s return to individual training represents an important step in his recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galatasaray will closely monitor his progress over the coming days before deciding when he can return to full team training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If everything goes according to plan, the Nigerian forward could make his return against Kasimpasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That would give Galatasaray another major attacking option for one of their most difficult fixtures of the campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
