Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen is expected to resume playing for Galatasaray after the international break, Punch Nigeria reports. The forward has been recovering from a muscle strain. The available material does not specify the injury’s exact location, the length of his absence or whether he will immediately return to the starting line-up.

Victor Osimhen is expected to return to action for Galatasaray after the international break, according to Punch Nigeria. The Nigeria striker has been recovering from a muscle strain. The report says he is anticipated to resume playing once the international window has ended, but the available source material does not give a precise return date.

It also does not state when Osimhen suffered the injury, how many matches he has missed or whether he has resumed full training. There is no information in the supplied material about the medical assessment behind the expected comeback. Osimhen’s return would make him available for Galatasaray again following his rehabilitation.

The source, however, does not confirm whether the club plans to use him immediately, manage his minutes or place him on the bench for his first match back. The report contains no further details about his condition, Galatasaray’s next opponent or the striker’s international-break involvement. The expectation of a return is therefore attributed to Punch Nigeria’s report.
