Sporting manager Rui Borges has stated that Barış Alper Yılmaz could replace the injured Victor Osimhen in the Galatasaray squad for their upcoming UEFA Champions League match. Osimhen is currently sidelined due to a groin injury sustained during Galatasaray's last Turkish Super Lig game against Istanbul Basaksehir. The Nigerian international will miss the Sporting Lisbon fixture.
At his pre-match press conference, Borges expressed confidence in Yılmaz's ability to fill Osimhen's position. "Frankly, Osimhen is a different player and creates extraordinary things on the field," Borges said, according to Le Marca Sports. However, he added, "in the end, they will field 11 players, and another player will take on that role there."
Borges mentioned Yılmaz as a potential substitute, along with Rafael, though he described these as mere assumptions.
