Osimhen Returns to Galatasaray Training After Arm Injury Layoff

Victor Osimhen has returned to full training with Galatasaray, boosting hopes that the Nigerian striker could make an earlier-than-expected return to competitive action following an arm injury that initially ruled him out for several weeks.

The Turkish club confirmed in an official update that Osimhen has resumed group training while continuing a specialised rehabilitation programme supervised by the club’s medical and physiotherapy staff. The striker had earlier been expected to miss up to six weeks, but his recovery has progressed faster than initially projected.

Club sources say Osimhen has been gradually reintegrated into team drills after completing individual recovery sessions, with coaches carefully monitoring his workload to avoid any setback. His return to the training pitch is being treated as a significant positive development within the squad.

The injury, which affected his arm, forced the 27-year-old forward to miss key preparations, but medical assessments now suggest he is responding well to treatment and rehabilitation protocols. His improved condition has raised optimism within the club that he could return to match action sooner than expected.

Osimhen’s availability is now being closely assessed ahead of Galatasaray’s upcoming league fixture against Gençlerbirliği vs Galatasaray, with reports indicating he could be in contention for selection if he continues his recovery trajectory without complications.

His return is a major boost for Galatasaray, who rely heavily on his goal-scoring ability and physical presence in attack. Since joining the club, Osimhen has become a key figure in their domestic campaign, contributing significantly to their offensive output.

Fans have welcomed the news of his return to training, with many expressing optimism on social media about his potential early comeback as the club enters a crucial phase of the season.

While no official date has been confirmed for his full return to competitive matches, Galatasaray are expected to take a cautious approach, ensuring he reaches full match fitness before being cleared for regular action.

For now, Osimhen’s return to team training marks an important step forward in his recovery and provides a timely boost for both Galatasaray and Nigerian football supporters ahead of a busy run of fixtures.
