With a high-stakes Europa League match against Tottenham Hotspur looming, Galatasaray fans are holding their breath as the club monitors the fitness of star striker Victor Osimhen. Scheduled for November 7 at İstanbul’s RAMS Park, the clash is critical for the reigning Super Lig champions, who are keen to extend their strong run of form.

Osimhen, who has been a game-changer for Galatasaray this season with four goals and four assists in seven appearances, has been sidelined from full training due to discomfort. Following a specialized program created by the medical team, he trained separately as a precautionary measure. Although the club’s medical staff downplayed the severity of his condition, Osimhen’s status for the Tottenham game remains uncertain, sparking concerns among supporters.

The Nigerian forward recently delivered a decisive header in Galatasaray’s recent 2-1 victory over Besiktas, which expanded their lead at the top of the Super Lig to eight points. With his presence on the line, Galatasaray’s preparations under manager Okan Buruk have intensified. Their latest training session at Florya Metin Oktay Facilities emphasized a dynamic workout regimen, combining passing drills, tactical exercises, and a three-team tournament to keep players in top form.

As the countdown to the Tottenham faceoff continues, Galatasaray’s faithful will be hoping their talisman is ready to take the field and bolster their bid for European success.
