Victor Osimhen is expected to make his return for Galatasaray in their crucial derby clash against Fenerbahçe later next month, according to Turkish journalist Ali Naci Küçük.
The Nigerian striker is currently sidelined after suffering a hand injury during Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second-leg defeat to Liverpool FC earlier this month.
As a result, Osimhen is set to miss several upcoming fixtures, including matches against Trabzonspor, Göztepe, Kocaelispor, and Gençlerbirliği.
However, Küçük disclosed that the forward is targeting a return for the high-profile Turkish Super Lig encounter against Fenerbahçe scheduled for April 26 at Rams Park.
“Victor Osimhen will be on the field for the Fenerbahçe derby unless something negative happens,” Küçük was quoted as saying.
He added that Osimhen has personally reassured club president Dursun Özbek of his readiness to return in time for the decisive fixture, expressing confidence in both his fitness and the team’s title ambitions.
