What is the health status of Barış Alper Yılmaz and Osimhen? Statement from the Galatasaray club doctor

Galatasaray, competing in the UEFA Europa League, will face Malmö away from home. During the final training session, Club Doctor Yener İnce provided information about the status of the injured players for the yellow-reds.

THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO WAS AVOIDED

Touching upon the condition of Barış Alper Yılmaz, who was injured in the Sivasspor match, İnce said that the situation was not as feared. Pointing out that it was an impact-related issue, İnce said, "You all saw Barış Alper. It was not as bad as we feared. We were worried about a total tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee. However, there is a serious strain in the ligament opposite the point of impact. He will not be in the Malmö match. We will take it match by match. I cannot say anything about the Trabzonspor match either. It is too early to say anything definitive."

'OSIMHEN NEEDS TIME'

Clarifying the situation of Victor Osimhen, who was injured in the same match, Yener İnce said, "Osimhen's injury is not the same as the last one; he has a strain in the muscle of his other leg. It is a moderate issue. It is not a very advanced problem, but we need time."

Stating that Kaan Ayhan has started training, İnce said that Abdülkerim Bardakcı has returned to the pitch earlier than expected.

'THERE IS A TEAR IN HIS LIGAMENTS'

Speaking about the condition of Ismael Jakobs, İnce commented, "We said we would not give a timeline for Jakobs. There is a tear in the part of the Achilles tendon that continues into the groin. It is not an ordinary injury. There is a risk of recurrence. He is in very good condition right now, but he needs to continue field work for us to see. We will decide according to his progress."
