Turkish Cup: Osimhen cleared for Gala comeback as Madrid join race for ace striker

Victor Osimhen is set to make his comeback tonight as Galatasaray host Gençlerbirliği in the Turkish Cup quarter final at Rams Park, in a return that coincides with reports that Real Madrid have joined Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the battle for the Super Eagles striker. Osimhen only returned to full training last week after recovering from an arm injury sustained in the Champions League round of 16 clash against Liverpool, which sidelined him for four consecutive league matches. According to Turkish outlet Sabah, he is expected to feature for about 15 to 20 minutes against Gençlerbirliği as coach Okan Buruk carefully manages his workload ahead of Sunday’s high stakes Intercontinental Derby against Fenerbahçe. Galatasaray sit four points clear at the top of the Turkish Süper Lig after a 2 1 away win over Gençlerbirliği at the weekend, a game […]

Osimhen expected to be ready for Fenerbahce derby says Buruk

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk says Victor Osimhen should be fit in time for this weekend’s high stakes Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce.​ Osimhen travelled with the squad for Saturday’s Super Lig match away to Genclerbirligi in Ankara but was left out of the matchday squad.

Osimhen and Icardi can unsettle Juventus in Champions League – Buruk

Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk says the attacking partnership of Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi can rattle Juventus in their upcoming UEFA Champions League tie. He spoke after both strikers delivered standout performances in a 5–1 league win over Eyupspor.

The coach said their chemistry, movement and ability to create chances make them a major threat to any defence. Looking ahead to the Champions League playoff against Juventus, Buruk admitted the Italian giants are favourites but insisted Galatasaray have enough quality to cause problems. He highlighted Juventus’ physical strength and flexible formations but said his side will prepare specifically to exploit spaces with quick transitions and aggressive pressing. Buruk added that Galatasaray are in a good place physically and […]

Man City vs Galatasaray: Osimhen’s side chase 250th UCL goal

Galatasaray will be chasing a historic milestone when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, needing just two goals to become the first Turkish club to reach 250 goals in UEFA Champions League history. Both teams desperately need three points in tomorrow’s Matchday 8 clash to strengthen their positions in the revamped 36‑team league phase.​ Manchester City sit 11th with 13 points from seven matches, while Galatasaray are 17th with the same number of games played. Under the new format, the top eight sides qualify directly for the Round of 16, clubs finishing 9th to 24th enter a two‑legged play‑off, and those 25th or lower are eliminated outright without dropping into the Europa League.​ Pep Guardiola’s men have limited recent history against Turkish opposition, having only previously faced Fenerbahce in the 1968/69 European Cup, where City lost 2–1 on […]
