Galatasaray has provided fresh information concerning the fitness and preparation of star forward Victor Osimhen as the club approaches two significant fixtures: a high‑stakes Turkish Super Lig derby with Beşiktaş and a crucial Champions League Round of 16 encounter against Liverpool.
The Turkish giants are set to meet Beşiktaş in a derby match scheduled for Saturday evening. This fixture carries considerable weight in the domestic title race, with both teams eager to gain an advantage as the season unfolds. Shortly after that clash, Galatasaray is due to travel to face Liverpool in the prestigious European competition on Tuesday, a game that could determine their progression in the Champions League.
Osimhen was not included in the squad for Galatasaray’s recent Turkish Cup victory over Alanyaspor on Tuesday night. The Nigerian international was instead given a rest by the coaching staff, suggesting careful management of his physical condition in a demanding fixture period.
According to Temel, Osimhen is displaying a high level of determination and positive influence in training. “He is extremely driven,” Temel explained. “His energy has been infectious within the squad, and he has been pushing his teammates forward throughout training sessions.”
Temel further highlighted the forward’s role in galvanizing the group ahead of the upcoming derby. “We are shaping our game plan around securing maximum points in the derby against Beşiktaş. That victory would be vital for bolstering our bid for the league title,” he added.
With Osimhen motivating his teammates both on and off the training pitch, Galatasaray appear focused on achieving domestic success while also seeking to advance in European competition.
