Istanbul, Turkey — Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has vowed to feature in next Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League clash against Liverpool, despite nursing an ankle injury. The Nigerian forward sustained the injury earlier this month while representing the Super Eagles in a World Cup qualifier against Rwanda. Since then, he has missed some matches for the Turkish champions, raising concerns about his availability for the crucial European fixture. However, respected Beyaz TV commentator Sinan Engin dismissed fears that Osimhen might be sidelined, insisting that the 25-year-old is determined to play at all costs. “I think Osimhen will play in the Alanyaspor match,” Engin said via Habersarikirmizi. “Even if he breaks his leg, Osimhen would want to play in the Liverpool match. He’s not the type of player to pick matches. He will be 100 per cent on the pitch for the Liverpool match.” Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray in a high-profile summer move, has already become a fan favourite with his aggressive style of play, work rate, and knack for scoring decisive goals. His potential appearance against Liverpool is seen as crucial to the club’s hopes of progressing from the group stage. The Nigerian international has endured a stop-start campaign due to fitness concerns, but his reputation as a warrior on the pitch continues to fuel expectations among fans. With Galatasaray facing domestic rivals Alanyaspor before the Liverpool test, the club’s medical team is closely monitoring Osimhen’s recovery, while supporters eagerly await confirmation of his readiness. For Galatasaray, the match against Liverpool represents one of their toughest challenges this season, and Osimhen’s availability could prove decisive in their quest to make a statement in Europe.
