Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is poised to make his highly anticipated comeback for Galatasaray as they face Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday. He was listed in Okan Buruk’s 22-man squad for the game.
Osimhen’s return is earlier than expected, much to the delight of fans and teammates alike, following an injury sustained during their recent match against Kasimpasa which ended in a 3-3 draw.

Osimhen, who has been a revelation since joining Galatasaray on loan, was forced to miss several crucial matches due to the injury, including their UEFA Europa League clash against RFS, their domestic victory over Alanyaspor, and Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. However, his recovery has been swift and impressive, and he has now regained full fitness.
The Nigerian forward’s return is a significant boost for Galatasaray, as his goal-scoring prowess and ability to create chances have been sorely missed. With Osimhen back in the lineup, the Turkish champions are expected to pose a formidable threat to their opponents despite being away from home.
Since joining the club, Osimhen has made an immediate impact, contributing four goals and two assists in just four appearances.
His impressive performances have earned him widespread praise and have made him a fan favorite at Galatasaray. As he prepares to return to action, fans are eagerly anticipating the exciting football that he will bring to the team.
