Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has moved closer to a return to competitive football after joining part of Galatasaray’s training session on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old worked with his team-mates for part of the session before switching to an individual programme as he continues his recovery and builds towards full fitness.
Osimhen’s return to the training ground is an encouraging development for Galatasaray, although he has not yet completed a full session with the squad. The club’s medical and technical staff will continue to assess his progress before deciding when he can resume competitive action.
No timetable has been given for his return. Galatasaray will take the decision based on the striker’s recovery and readiness to play.
Osimhen remains an important player for both Galatasaray and the Nigeria national team. His progress will be closely monitored by supporters of the Turkish champions and the Super Eagles as he works towards returning to full training.
The forward’s involvement in Tuesday’s session represents the latest stage of his rehabilitation, but further individual work remains part of the process before he can be considered ready for a competitive match.
