Osimhen misses Galatasaray clash as Salah hat-trick fires Trabzonspor to 4-0 win
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen missed Saturday's 4-0 loss to Trabzonspor due to injury, despite training separately earlier in the week and raising hopes of a return. Egyptian star Mohamed Salah stole the show with a hat-trick, opening the scoring in the fourth minute after an 80-metre breakaway run, then assisting Noah Saviolo for Trabzonspor's second goal before adding his third and fourth later in the match. Trabzonspor took control early, with Salah's sixth league goal of the season putting them ahead before halftime. Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk was shown a red card late in the game for a furious reaction. The defeat leaves Galatasaray scrambling for answers as they prepare for upcoming fixtures, while Osimhen's absence raises concerns about his fitness for both club and the Nigeria national team. For Nigerian fans, the match highlights how crucial Osimhen's availability is to Galatasaray's attack and underscores Salah's continued dominance in Turkish football. Will you keep a close eye on Osimhen's recovery timeline, or adjust expectations for Galatasaray's next matches without their Nigerian striker?
