Turkish sports columnist Levent Tüzemen has predicted that Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen will be in the starting lineup for the April 2 derby against Fenerbahçe, despite undergoing forearm fracture surgery on March 23.
Citing an old Turkish saying that “a broken bone heals in the time equal to the person’s age,” Tüzemen expressed confidence in modern medicine and the club’s medical team.
According to the Turkish report, the Nigerian international who sustained an arm injury in a clash with Liverpool has been reportedly making rapid progress in his recovery.
Osimhen, on loan from Napoli, has scored 15 goals in 20 appearances this season, and his potential return just days after surgery would be a major boost for Galatasaray’s title push. Club statements have confirmed his return to full training ahead of the crucial rivalry match.
