Galatasaray confident of recovering Osimhen for Barcelona clash

Osimhen returns to training after a month out with an adductor injury; availability for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Barcelona remains uncertain pending medical clearance.

Victor Osimhen has resumed training with Galatasaray after missing a month with a serious adductor muscle injury and haematoma. The Nigerian striker was sidelined from 4 September and did only partial training on Wednesday. Club doctor Yener Ince said treatment is progressing well but cautioned against rushing his return, stating they will decide on his availability for Tuesday's Champions League match against Barcelona in Istanbul based on ongoing medical tests. Galatasaray face domestic opposition Kasimpasa on Friday first.
