Turkey: Galatasaray boss counts on Osimhen to down Trabzonspor

Galatasaray head coach, Okan Buruk hopes Victor Osimhen will be fit for Saturday’s crucial clash against Trabzonspor at the Papara Park.

Osimhen has missed the Yellow and Reds last two games across all competitions due to injury.

Galatasaray lost 3-1 to Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon in a UEFA Champions League fixture last Wednesday.

Buruk’s side then scraped to a 1-0 victory over Kocaelispor at the RAMS Park on Sunday.

Trabzonspor, who lost 1-0 to Konyaspor also on Sunday are expected to be a tough nut to crack for the title holders.

Buruk believed a fit Osimhen will boost Galatasaray’s chances of winning the highly anticipated game.

” It’s a tough away game. They (Trabzonspor) have a very good squad. Their only desire will be to win against Galatasaray. We will also prepare this week. If our players can return, and if we can get Osimhen and Lemina ready, we will field a stronger squad,” Buruk told the club’s official website.
