Victor Osimhen has been named in Galatasaray's squad for Saturday's trip to Istanbul Başakşehir after recovering from a three-game injury layoff. The 27-year-old Nigerian striker returned to full training on Tuesday and is expected to start the crucial match that could impact the Turkish Super Lig title race.

Osimhen's absence saw Galatasaray record just one win from their last three games, with their lead at the top of the table cut to just two points. His return comes at a critical time as the Yellow and Reds look to maintain their championship momentum.

The Nigerian international missed last three matches due to an arm injury but appears fully recovered. Galatasaray fans will be hoping his presence can help secure a vital result against Başakşehir as the title race intensifies.

With Nigeria's international calendar approaching, Osimhen's form and fitness remain crucial for the national team's upcoming fixtures. His return to the starting lineup could provide a significant boost to both club and country prospects.
