Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will be available for selection for Galatasaray in their UEFA Europa League clash against Tottenham on Thursday, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen has been struggling with some discomfort in recent days. The Super Eagles star was impressive for the club last time out, scoring in their 2-1 win over Besiktas.
However, since that game he has been missing in training on Saturday. Recall that earlier, Soccernet.ng reported that it was just a precautionary measure.
But the 25-year-old striker missed the club’s training sessions on Sunday, fueling fears that he could be injured. And that be a big dent on their chances of defeating Tottenham in their Europa League meeting on Thursday.
Nonetheless, in a new development, per Forza Cimbom, Osimhen will be available for selection for Galatasaray’s game against Tottenham.
He will likely be paired with Argentina striker Mauro Icardi, who has been his steady strike partner.
Osimhen already one assists in the Europa League, but he has failed to score in his two appearances. Nonetheless, his availability will give Galatasaray a big boost as he offers a big threat in the final third.
Tottenham do not have a sturdy defense, and with Osimhen, Galatasaray will be looking to exploit it and claim their second win of the competition.
