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.
