UCL: Galatasaray Face Nervous Wait Over Victor Osimhen Ahead of Juventus Clash

Galatasaray are sweating on the fitness of star striker Victor Osimhen as they prepare for their decisive Champions League playoff second leg against Juventus.

According to the Daily Post, the Nigerian international was sidelined during the 2-0 league defeat to Konyaspor due to a minor knee issue.

While the club’s official website confirmed he spent Sunday training in the gym, his availability remains the big question mark for the trip to Turin.

The “Statistical” VersionOsimhen Injury Update: Will Galatasaray’s UCL Star Be Ready for Juve?

After missing last weekend’s domestic clash with a knee injury, Victor Osimhen is in a race against time to feature in Galatasaray’s rematch with Juventus.

The 27-year-old has been in world-class form in Europe this season, tallying 6 goals and 2 assists in just seven Champions League appearances.

Despite holding a massive 5-2 aggregate lead—a result largely built on Osimhen’s two assists in the first leg—Okan Buruk’s side will be desperate to have their talisman back on the pitch.
