Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has acknowledged that his team suffered without Victor Osimhen in their narrow 1-0 home victory over Kocaelispor, according to DAILY POST. The match, which was fiercely contested, saw Abdulkerim Bardakci score the crucial goal just 19 minutes from the end. Osimhen has missed the past two games for Galatasaray, having sustained an injury during the 3-2 win against Istanbul Başakşehir on September 4.
Buruk emphasized the significance of the Nigeria international for his side, stating, "Having Osimhen is a strength, not just in terms of the player, but also psychologically, just being on the field. Playing with him is a different experience." The coach added, "We miss Osimhen. We played with a lot of pressure, but it's very important to always have a clinical striker.
I was also pleased with Deniz’s performance." Galatasaray will be traveling to face Trabzonspor in their next league game this weekend.
