Victor Osimhen Makes Injury Comeback As Galatasaray Extend Perfect League Start
By Sportsgister
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen finally returned to action after weeks on the sidelines, featuring in the closing stages of Galatasaray’s hard-fought 1-0 away victory over Alanyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
The Nigerian star was introduced in the 78th minute and played the final 12 minutes, marking his much-anticipated comeback.
Although his time on the pitch was brief, Osimhen’s return offered a major boost for the defending champions, who are juggling a busy domestic and European schedule.
Alanyaspor, meanwhile, handed a full debut to 19-year-old Nigerian striker Uchenna Ugundu, who impressed with a full 90-minute performance against the Turkish giants.
Galatasaray’s attention now shifts to a blockbuster UEFA Champions League clash with Liverpool, a test that comes amid a dream start to their league campaign.
The Istanbul giants have won all seven of their opening fixtures, setting a new club record for their best-ever start to a Super Lig season.
With momentum firmly on their side, the champions look determined to continue their dominance both at home and abroad.
