Galatasaray Boss Urges Osimhen to Fast-Track Return as Title Race Intensifies

Galatasaray’s title aspirations have taken a hit without Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen. The Turkish side has dropped five points in recent weeks, allowing rivals to close in on the 2025/26 Super Lig crown. Manager Okan Buruk has reportedly made an impassioned plea for Osimhen to return earlier than planned, even if he isn’t fully fit. The coach stressed, “We need you now. Don’t leave us alone in these critical weeks.” The club’s medical team is racing to accelerate his recovery ahead of a crucial derby against Fenerbahce. In Osimhen’s absence, Galatasaray’s attack has struggled – Mauro Icardi has failed to fill the void, and results have suffered. Despite the setbacks, belief remains strong in the squad. With just five matches left, every point counts, and the title push may hinge on Osimhen answering his coach’s call.
