Galatasaray have admitted they will miss injured Victor Osimhen for tonight’s UEFA Europa League clash at Latvian club Rigas FS.
The Napoli loanee is nursing a muscle injury from a league match against Kasimpasa.
Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk said Osimhen is a major absentee, but he believes the other players will step up in his absence.
“We have a good squad. The players coming from the bench are also strong players. We have a major absence like Victor Osimhen, but there are still very valuable and important players on the bench,” Buruk said.
“It is an important match, we want to continue by winning. We are playing away, an environment that our opponents are more familiar with we want to show our own game quality.
“The favorite of the match is Galatasaray. We need to play with the same fighting power.”
Meanwhile, Osimhen took to Instagram to wish the team the best in the game.
“Good luck guys,” he posted.
