Victor Osimhen's Status for Konyaspor Match Will Be Clarified at Galatasaray

The physical condition of Galatasaray's successful footballer Victor Osimhen is giving the coaching staff food for thought. Following the medical committee's warning that his match load must be kept under control, whether the player will be in the starting 11 for the Konyaspor match will gain clarity at match time.

The physical condition of Victor Osimhen, one of the most remarkable names of recent weeks at Galatasaray, is on the agenda of the technical staff. The medical committee issued a warning for the 27-year-old striker, who took to the field despite having an injury in the matches against Gençlerbirliği, Lille, and Fenerbahçe. It was reported that his match load must be kept under control in order to prevent an increase in the strain on the player's muscle structure.

Ahead of the Champions League match against Stuttgart, head coach Okan Buruk has not yet made a definitive squad decision for the Konyaspor away game. Traveling to Konya with the yellow-red squad, the Nigerian forward's starting status will be finalized after final checks. In the squad which does not feature the suspended Abdülkerim Bardakcı, Osimhen's situation will be decided by waiting until match time.

Having appeared in 9 official matches in the yellow-red jersey this season, Victor Osimhen produced 9 goals and 3 assists, directly contributing to a total of 12 goals. Most recently playing a starring role in the victory with 2 goals scored in the Fenerbahçe derby, it was also learned that the star footballer and his partner Stefanie Kim Ladewig became parents for the second time. It is stated that Okan Buruk plans to adjust the player's playing time on the field in line with the medical team's report.
