Osimhen returns to training ahead of Galatasaray’s clash with Fenerbahce

Victor Osimhen returned to full training with the Galatasaray squad on Friday ahead of their crucial Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce this weekend. The Nigerian forward has been sidelined for two weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury while on international duty. The setback ruled him out of Galatasaray’s 3–1 away win over Istanbul Başakşehir last weekend, as well as the club’s 2–0 home defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League on Wednesday. However, photos from Friday’s training session showed the 26-year-old participating fully with his teammates—an encouraging sign that he could be available for the high-stakes derby. Osimhen’s availability would be a major boost for the Yellow and Reds, who are counting on their attacking firepower to push through the business end of the season. Galatasaray are expected to intensify preparations for the encounter during a final training session at their facility on Saturday.
