Europa: Osimhen’s Fitness Struggles Threaten Galatasaray Game Against Tottenham
LAGOS NOVEMBER 5TH (NEWSRNAGERS)-Turkish giants Galatasaray are preparing for their UEFA Europa League clash against Tottenham Hotspur, but star striker Victor Osimhen’s fitness remains a point of concern.
Recall that Afrik-Foot recently reported that the Super Eagles forward missed a training session with Galatasaray on Saturday due to ongoing fitness challenges, raising questions about his availability for the upcoming showdown with the Premier League side.
The reigning Super Lig champions are hoping to keep up their winning streak, but Osimhen’s condition has added an element of uncertainty.
Several reports coming in early today confirmed that the African Footballer of the Year has been working separately from the squad, following a customised training program by the medical team to manage his discomfort.
According to Bein Sports, “Containing pain, Osimhen still worked separately from the team today. The Nigerian striker, who has no serious condition, implements the special program given by the medical delegation.”
Osimhen’s recovery program raises hopes but Spurs match remains uncertain
Galatasaray’s medical staff remains hopeful, suggesting that Osimhen’s situation isn’t really that severe.
However, whether he will be part of the team that will trade tackles with Tottenham still remains unclear, which could be a significant setback for the team, as Osimhen has been crucial to Galatasaray’s campaign with four goals and four assists in seven games this season.
In the last Super Lig match, Osimhen’s stunning performance helped secure a 2-1 victory over Beşiktaş, where he delivered a well-placed header, reinforcing Galatasaray’s top spot in the league with an eight-point lead.
Under the guidance of head coach Okan Buruk, the team recently held a high-energy training session at the Florya Metin Oktay Facilities, focusing on tactical drills and concluding with an intense three-team tournament, maintaining peak readiness ahead of the Europa League match.
