Victor Osimhen returns from injury with assist in Galatasaray win

Victor Osimhen marked his return from a month-long injury absence by setting up a goal in Galatasaray’s 3-1 home victory over Kasimpasa in the Turkish league.

The Super Eagles striker had been sidelined for approximately one month but came off the bench in the closing stages of the match. Despite having limited time on the pitch, Osimhen quickly made an impact by providing the assist that helped Galatasaray extend their lead and secure all three points.

Sports247 reports that the Nigeria international was introduced as a substitute as the Turkish champions looked to see out the game. His immediate contribution offered an encouraging start to his return from injury.

Osimhen’s availability is a significant boost for Galatasaray, who rely on his attacking ability, physical strength and capacity to create scoring opportunities. He has established himself as one of the club’s most important attacking players since joining the team.

His assist against Kasimpasa also provided an early indication that he can influence matches while working towards full match fitness. The forward will now aim to build up his rhythm and make further contributions as Galatasaray continue their domestic campaign.

The result strengthens Galatasaray’s position in the Turkish league, while Osimhen’s return gives the club another attacking option after his month-long absence.

For Nigeria, his comeback is equally welcome. Osimhen remains a key part of the Super Eagles’ attacking plans, and his return to competitive action will be viewed positively by the national team.

The striker’s contribution underlined the impact he can have even when brought on late in a match. After missing approximately one month through injury, he will now hope to continue progressing and regain full fitness.
