  "account": "Galatasaray's top striker, Victor Osimhen, has returned to partial training sessions ahead of their upcoming home match against Kasimpasa. The Nigerian international, who has been sidelined due to a groin injury, participated in the initial phases of the training exercise alongside his teammates at the Kemerburgaz Metin Oktay Facilities. Head coach Okan Buruk led the session, which began with a dynamic warm-up, followed by 8v2 passing drills and possession exercises, culminating in a small-sided game. Osimhen was joined by midfielder Mario Lemina and goalkeeper Günay Güvenç for the entire session. Defenders Wilfried Singo and Roland Sallai continued their recovery programs separately, as they recuperated from their separate injuries. Osimhen's gradual return is seen as a positive sign for Galatasaray, though the club will maintain caution as the striker steadily improves his fitness. The 27-year-old is being assessed for a potential return in the upcoming match against Kasimpaşa at Rams Park on October 9, with another crucial test against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League scheduled four days later.",
