Osimhen eyes Fenerbahce derby for injury return

Galatasaray have received a major boost in their title chase as striker Victor Osimhen has started on field rehabilitation after surgery on a fractured right forearm. The Nigerian forward has been out of action since he picked up the injury during a high stakes UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield last month. He later underwent successful surgery performed by Dr Yener Ince. In an update posted on the club’s official X account, Galatasaray confirmed that Osimhen has begun light running drills on the pitch under the supervision of his physiotherapist. The same update added that Gabriel Sara has rejoined full team training, while Abdülkerim Bardakci, though suspended, travelled with the squad to Izmir for their game against Goztepe. Osimhen’s absence has coincided with a dip in form for Okan Buruk’s side, with their lead at the top of […]

Galatasaray chief denies owing Osimhen, teammates salaries

Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has dismissed viral reports claiming that the Turkish club owes Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen and other star players unpaid salaries. He described the stories as misleading and damaging, insisting that Galatasaray has met all its financial obligations to the squad in line with their contracts. Ozbek said it would be impossible for top professionals to keep playing if they were not paid for two or three months, adding that suggesting otherwise insults the players’ professionalism. He stressed that the club has not defaulted “on a single lira” in salary payments and that bonuses and incentive clauses are also settled on time. Club executives also pointed to Galatasaray’s recent financial clearance from UEFA as proof that the team is run on a disciplined payment schedule, with player wages typically paid ahead of usual European timelines. Ozbek urged […]

Osimhen scores 10th Super Lig goal in Galatasaray win

Victor Osimhen has scored his 10th league goal of the season in the Turkish Super Lig, helping Galatasaray to a 3–1 home victory over Alanyaspor. The Super Eagles striker also provided an assist in the game, as the Turkish champions extended their lead at the top of the table. Galatasaray took the lead just before half time, but Alanyaspor equalised early in the second half, forcing the hosts to raise their tempo.​ Osimhen was involved in the move that restored Galatasaray’s advantage, with his attempted bicycle kick leading to a loose ball that teammate Lucas Torreira fired into the net. He then sealed the win late in the game by capitalising on a mistake from the Alanyaspor goalkeeper, rounding him before finishing calmly into an empty net. The result moved Galatasaray further clear of title rivals Fenerbahce and underlined Osimhen’s […]

UCL: Osimhen to Miss Gala’s UCL Tie Against Saint-Gilloise

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will be absent for Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League fixture against Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise due to a minor hamstring tear picked up in international duty. Osimhen was substituted off at halftime during Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier with DR Congo and returned to his club for immediate treatment. Initial scans confirm a minor injury expected to sideline him for several days. Osimhen, top scorer in the competition with six goals, will be re-evaluated on Friday to determine his availability for upcoming fixtures, including the crucial Turkish league derby with Fenerbahce. He was seen supporting Galatasaray from the stands and exiting with teammate Henry Onyekuru. His absence opens the opportunity for rivals Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappé, each only one goal behind, to overtake him in the Champions League scoring charts.
