Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has provided an encouraging update on the recovery progress of striker Victor Osimhen, confirming that the Nigerian forward has resumed light training as he continues his rehabilitation, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Buruk revealed that Osimhen has started running again but stressed that the player is still being carefully assessed ahead of a possible return to competitive action.

“Osimhen’s recovery process well, he has started running. We already shared that as news,” Buruk said.

“Of course, I think it will be difficult for this weekend, but for the Gençlerbirliği match we play the following week if conditions are suitable, of course I think he could be in the squad.

“But we might even skip that and consider using him in the Fenerbahçe match. 

However, we need to monitor his progress; we need to see how things go there.”

The update suggests that Galatasaray are taking a cautious approach with Osimhen’s return, with key fixtures ahead influencing the final decision on when he will be fully reintegrated into the squad.
