Victor Osimhen makes his return with Galatasaray
Good news for Galatasaray: Victor Osimhen was back on the pitch this weekend against Alanyaspor, after several weeks out with injury.
The Nigerian striker picked up his injury during the Super Eagles’ World Cup 2026 qualifier against Rwanda. He suffered a sprain with ligament bleeding in his ankle, which sidelined him for matches against Eyüpspor, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Konyaspor.
