Latest update on Osimhen at Galatasaray

Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk shared the latest developments regarding his team ahead of important league matches and the upcoming cup game. Emphasizing his confidence in his team, Buruk provided updated information specifically regarding Osimhen's injury. While highlighting that he is pleased with his players' performance, Buruk noted that they have maintained their lead despite the difficulties.

Buruk stated, "I believe in my players, as always. I trust my players very much. I am proud to work with all of them, I am happy. We may have our mistakes and errors. If we are going to blame someone for these mistakes, errors, and points dropped, it is me. They are my mistakes... I am responsible for everything. It has always been this way until now. Together with my players, we will be champions for 4 years in a row. I believe it one hundred percent. I have no doubt. There is a cup match next week. We are entering a period where we will prepare clearly for the league matches. Galatasaray clearly shows that it is the strongest candidate for the championship."

Addressing the pressure created by absences in his team, which is struggling with injuries, Buruk said, "Osimhen's injury, Asprilla's injury, Lang's finger amputation, Yunus's injuries... There are both half-fit and missing players. This can lead to difficult matches for the team after the load falls on the same group of players, there can be matches where we struggle. If we look at it positively, we are the leaders in the league today as we come here, we are 2 points ahead. We will play our closest rival at our home ground. All the strings are in our hands."

Providing information on the status of Osimhen, who has been constantly battling injuries, Buruk said, "There is bad luck. Osimhen has been injured for the 3rd time since the beginning of the season. This is the 3rd period without Osimhen. This is always brought up in this final stretch, but some players are very important for some teams. Whatever Mbappe is for Real Madrid and Kane is for Bayern Munich, Osimhen is that for Galatasaray."

Regarding whether Osimhen will take part in the Gençlerbirliği match to be played this weekend, Buruk said the following:

"Osimhen trained with the team for a large part yesterday. He is physically good, he finished the training comfortably. Every player's participation reflects positively on the team. Osimhen is one of the locomotives. I care about all the players, their training performances are good. Osimhen's participation in training affected the team positively. We will look at today and Friday for the weekend. We will evaluate whether we will take him to Ankara or not."
