Victor Osimhen has handed Galatasaray a major boost ahead of Wednesday’s
UEFA Champions League showdown after returning to full training.
The Nigeria international missed the 2-0 league defeat at Konyaspor due to a minor
knee concern, sparking fears he could sit out the decisive tie against Juventus.
However, Osimhen trained fully with the squad on Monday at the Kemerburgaz Metin
Oktay Facilities, with club sources insisting the issue was only precautionary.
Galatasaray later confirmed the striker’s involvement in the session under head
coach Okan Buruk as preparations continued for the second leg.
The Turkish champions hold the advantage after a dramatic 5-2 first-leg win over
Juventus in a seven-goal thriller, where Osimhen played the full 90 minutes and
made a strong contribution despite not scoring.
A final training session is scheduled for Tuesday as Galatasaray aim to seal
progression, with either Liverpool or Tottenham awaiting in the next round.
