Former Fenerbahçe forward Bülent Uygun has raised concerns over Victor Osimhen’s fitness following his return from injury two weeks ago.

Uygun believes the 27-year-old has not fully recovered from the groin injury he sustained in early September, amid his recent goal drought.

The Super Eagles striker has failed to score in his last three appearances against Kasımpaşa, Barcelona and Gençlerbirliği.

Osimhen failed to find the back of the net after coming on as a substitute against Kasımpaşa in his first game following his return from injury.

The Nigerian international also fired blanks against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League as his side suffered a 4-1 home defeat.

Osimhen also failed to score in his most recent game against Gençlerbirliği, although his side secured a crucial 1-0 victory courtesy of an own goal.

Speaking to Tivibu Spor, as reported by Habersarikirmizi, Uygun attributed Osimhen’s recent struggles to his physical condition.

“Osimhen operates within a specific tactical framework designed around his capabilities,” Uygun stated.

“His determination to accomplish much following his injury, together with his body’s insufficient coordination and his inclination to express frustration towards his teammates over errors, including those of his own making, demonstrates that he remains unprepared.”

Osimhen will be hoping to end his goal drought when Galatasaray face Lille in the Champions League on Wednesday, October 21.
