Galatasaray targets striker Victor Osimhen for Champions League match against Barcelona

Galatasaray aims to have striker Victor Osimhen available for the upcoming Champions League fixture against Barcelona on October 13. The Nigerian international suffered a groin injury during a league match against Basaksehir earlier this month and missed the opening Champions League game against Sporting CP. Despite his initial absence, reports indicate the club is optimistic regarding his recovery timeline. Barcelona enters the match with awareness of the broader attacking threat posed by the Turkish side, which features Rafael Leao and Leroy Sane. Galatasaray maintains a midfield bolstered by Ilkay Gundogan, Lucas Torreira, and Mario Lemina. The teams face off in one month as Galatasaray seeks to utilize its full offensive roster against the Spanish club.
