Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has declared his readiness to play in Monday’s highly anticipated Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce, despite recent concerns regarding a hamstring injury.
The Nigerian international, who sustained the injury during international duty two weeks prior, has been diligently working towards recovery and was seen training with his teammates on Friday. While his definitive availability remains uncertain, Osimhen has expressed a strong desire to participate and contribute to his team’s success in this crucial encounter.
Speaking to Sabah newspaper, Osimhen emphasized the significance of the derby, stating, “I know the importance of the Fenerbache Derby and what it means to the fans. I experienced this excitement last season. Galatasaray signed me for such big matches. If necessary, I will take risks and go out on the field and give my all.”
Osimhen’s commitment underscores the importance of the match, where he aims to add to his tally of three goals in six league appearances for Galatasaray this season. His potential presence on the field will undoubtedly provide a significant boost to the Yellow and Reds.
