Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen is on course to regain full fitness in time for the club’s upcoming fixtures against Liverpool and Beşiktaş, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

According to Galatasaray insider Yakup Çınar, who shared the update on the Yeni Açık YouTube channel, Osimhen’s recovery from an ankle ligament injury is progressing well.

The Nigerian forward, sustained the knock earlier this month while representing Nigeria against Rwanda in a FIFA World Cup qualifier, forcing him to miss several games including Galatasaray’s 4–0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League on Thursday.

 “Osimhen’s chances of featuring against Konyaspor are out of the question,” Çınar said, as quoted by Habersarikirmizi.

“He’s expected to get some minutes against Alanyaspor and should be fully ready for the Liverpool and Beşiktaş games. His injury isn’t serious, but the club doesn’t want to take risks.”

Galatasaray will host Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, September 30, before facing Beşiktaş in the Turkish Super Lig on October 4.
