However, İnce, in his latest update, disclosed that Osimhen, Singo and Sallai will all undergo medical examinations to determine their availability for the upcoming matches.

“We will conduct tests on all three players, on Osimhen, on Singo, and on Sallai as well. We will make a decision based on the test results,” İnce told Winner Galatasaray.

“But the treatment of all three is going very well. In other words, all three are in a much better condition now compared to one week to 10 days ago. In other words, thank goodness, there is nothing going wrong with the treatments,” he concluded.
