Turkey: Galatasaray no longer dependent on Osimhen - Küçük

Turkish sports journalist Ali Naci Küçük has advised Galatasaray to limit their star player Victor Osimhen's playing time in some matches. Küçük made this suggestion after Galatasaray confirmed Osimhen suffered a knee injury after their UEFA Champions League victory over VfB Stuttgart. Küçük noted that Osimhen had been largely absent from action last season, and this season, he's been on the field in seven of eleven matches, missing four, including the upcoming game.

He urged Galatasaray to be cautious with Osimhen, rotating him off the bench as necessary. Küçük acknowledged that the pitch conditions could be a factor, but emphasized Osimhen's dedication, adding that he plays every match with immense effort. He proposed leaving Osimhen on the bench in more assured wins, allowing him to contribute more throughout the season.

Osimhen is set to miss the next match against Amed SK and is expected to be sidelined for around three weeks.
