Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk says Victor Osimhen is winning his race to be involved next Tuesday as the Turkish side hosts Liverpool in the Champions League.
Osimhen has not played for Galatasaray since he scored against Rizespor at the end of August after he picked up an injury during the September international break while representing Nigeria in its game against Rwanda.
Galatasaray has played three times since then — against Eyupspor and Konyaspor domestically, and a 5-1 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt in Europe — but Osimhen has been missing.
But if he can tolerate them and play, we hope he'll be with the team in our next match."
Buruk went on to say that Osimhen is prepared to put his body on the line against Liverpool, which is a huge game anyway, but not least in the context of the heavy defeat on matchday one.
