Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen could reportedly return to action for Galatasaray later this month.

The 27-year-old is currently recuperating from a knee injury he suffered during Galatasaray's UEFA Champions League clash against Stuttgart last week.

The Nigerian international has undergone a successful surgery and is expected to spend some weeks on the sidelines, missing out on yet another international football with Nigeria.

According to Galatasaray insider Emre Kaplan, the club's plan is to ensure that Osimhen is fit and available for their UEFA Champions League clash against Premier League side Aston Villa on Tuesday, November 24.

This means the former Napoli striker will not be available for Galatasaray's first game after the international break against Samsunspor in the Super Lig on Saturday, November 21.

“Galatasaray’s plan is for Osimhen to miss the Samsunspor match but return to action for the Aston Villa match," Kaplan said as quoted by Winner Galatasaray via LiberoTV.

"Leao’s situation looks a little more serious than Osimhen’s. It looks like it will take four to five weeks. He will probably struggle to make the Beşiktaş derby.”
