Nigerian striker Victor osimhen has returned to full training with Turkish giants Galatasaray following the hand injury that had kept him sidelined in recent weeks. The news will come as a major relief to both the Cimbom faithful and Nigeria Super Eagles supporters alike, with the prolific forward now targeting a return to match action in the coming days.
Osimhen, who remains Nigeria’s all-time leading scorer in the UEFA Champions League with 16 goals, had been nursing the injury carefully, with medical staff at Galatasaray managing his rehabilitation closely to ensure no setbacks ahead of the crucial end-of-season period.
The 27-year-old has had another impressive campaign in the Turkish Süper Lig, and his return could not come at a better time as Galatasaray push for silverware on the domestic front. For the Super Eagles, his availability is equally critical given the proximity of international fixtures and Nigeria’s continued participation in the 2026 World Cup qualification campaign.
Osimhen’s hand injury had raised concerns about his fitness, but the images and reports of him back in full team training sessions at Galatasaray’s training ground have provided positive news for all stakeholders.
Here’s wishing the Super Eagles number one striker a swift, complete return to his best form. 💪🏽⚽
