VICTOR OSIMHEN NEWS

Starts in draw Osimhen (undisclosed) got the start during Monday's 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce.

Impact Osimhen missed out on the last Champions League match with a knock, but returned for a domestic showdown with Fenerbahce. The striker is one of the best in the world and should remain a huge part of the starting XI. Osimhen is a major goal threat in any match, with major upside.

Sidelined Tuesday Osimhen (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's match against Union SG.

Impact Osimhen is heading back to the sidelines after missing the club's opening match of the competition as well, as he is sidelined due to an undisclosed injury. Unfortunately for the club, this means they are without their starting forward, a crucial piece after scoring a hat trick last time out and a goal in each of his UCL appearances this season. A return should follow soon, hopefully not missing more than the match.

Not training Osimhen didn't take part in training Monday, ahead of Tuesday's clash with USG, Yagiz Sabuncuoglu reports.

Impact Osimhen wasn't included in training Monday, though the club reports he still has an outside chance of playing during Tuesday's clash. It would be a tremendous blow if he's ruled out for the clash with USG, though Mauro Icardi is a more than capable starting striker if he needs to lead the line alone in that match.

Hat-trick against Ajax Osimhen scored three goals to go with five shots (five on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 win versus Ajax.

Impact With each passing Champions League game, Osimhen has added a goal to his latest appearance. He scored one on Sept. 30, two on Oct. 22 and three Wednesday to give him six goals in UCL action this season. Having easily proven himself as Galatasaray's best player in European action, Osimhen will be highly relied upon by his team moving forward.

Scores two in Champions League win Osimhen scored two goals to go with nine shots (seven on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Glimt.

Impact Osimhen has now scored three goals in his two Champions League matches. In the two matches, he has taken 13 shots, putting 10 on target. So far in the Turkish Super League, he has only scored twice in six league matches. The striker has also created a chance in each of the Champions League games he has played in.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in win Osimhen scored one goal (via penalty) on four shots (three on target) in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Impact Osimhen played 72 minutes, his most since suffering an ankle injury in early September. He opened the scoring on a 16th minute penalty kick, the only scoring of the match in a stunning UCL victory for Galatasaray over Liverpool. Osimhen looks to be over the ankle issue that lingered for almost a month, he was all over the pitch, firing three shots on goal on four attempts. He will look to keep this UCL momentum rolling in next months match vs FK Bodo.

Returns off bench Osimhen played five minutes off the bench during Friday's 1-0 win over Alanyaspor.

Impact Osimhen missed most of September with an ankle issue, but returned to action for five minutes off the bench in the Super Lig. He didn't get much run to test his ankle, but seems to be fully fit after missing out against Frankfurt. His next chance for Champions League action is a Tuesday clash with Premier League champions Liverpool.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Not available against Frankfurt Osimhen (ankle) doesn't make the squad list for Thursday's clash against Frankfurt in the Champions League.

Impact Osimhen hasn't resumed team training yet as he is still dealing with the ankle injury he suffered while on international duty with Nigeria. The striker's next chance to feature in the Champions League will be against Liverpool on Sept. 30. Mauro Icardi is expected to lead the line against the Eagles on Thursday.

Late call against Frankfurt Osimhen is still dealing with pain due to the ankle injury he suffered while on international duty with Nigeria and will be a late call for Thursday's Champions League clash agains...

Impact Osimhen wasn't spotted in team training on Monday as he is still dealing with pain from the ankle injury he suffered while on international duty with Nigeria. The striker will be a late call for Thursday's game and could feature under infiltrations if Galatasaray decides to take the risk of playing him. That said, if they opt for a more conservative approach, Mauro Icardi is expected to lead the line in his place against the Eagles.

Suffers bad ankle injury Osimhen has suffered a bad ankle injury in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Rwanda and is out for the time being, according to Fisayo Dairo from ACL Sports.

Impact Osimhen suffered an awful tackle from a Rwanda player on his ankle and was forced off in the 35th minute of Saturday's game. The Nigerian striker then missed the match against South Africa on Tuesday for that reason. Reports say he may be out until the end of the month as he still needs to be assessed once back in Turkey. That said, if he has to miss some time and the Champions League opener against Frankfurt on Thursday, Mauro Icardi will replace him in the frontline until he returns.

Temporarily back at Napoli Osimhen is returning to Napoli after his loan spell at Galatasaray but is set to depart again, Corriere dello Sport relayed.

Impact Osimhen had a stellar campaign in Turkey, and Galatasaray are interested in retaining him, but they didn't have an option to buy. They'll have to negotiate with Napoli. Al-Hilal and Juventus are also in the mix. He won't be reintegrated by Napoli, and he might be exonerated for the pre-season preparation while seeking a new team.
