Victor Osimhen has told the Galatasaray coach he wishes to start in his comeback game against relegation battlers Genclerbirligi Saturday.
The Super Eagles striker has been sidelined by an arm injury from last month’s UEFA Champions League tie at Liverpool.
Osimhen trained with the rest of Galatasaray first-team squad for the first time Wednesday sporting a special bandage to protect the affected arm.
According to Tavkim, he then had a private meeting with Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk during which he said he wants to start Saturday’s tricky visit to Genclerbirligi, who are just two points above the relegation zone.
In Osimhen’s absence, defending champions Galatasaray have lost several vital points so much so that they are now only two points ahead of bitter rivals Fenerbache going into the 30th round of the Turkish Super Lig.
