Galatasaray name squad for Gençlerbirliği trip as Victor Osimhen travels | OneFootball

Galatasaray have named their travelling squad for the Trendyol Süper Lig trip to Gençlerbirliği, with Victor Osimhen included after returning to full training.

According to Turkish-Football.com, the Nigerian was monitored by medical staff this week and convinced Okan Buruk to take him to Ankara, although it is unclear whether he will start.

Yasin Asprilla and Yunus Akgün stay in Istanbul as their recoveries continue, while Noa Lang is also out after a recent setback.

Leaders Galatasaray hold a two-point advantage over Fenerbahçe, so the Ankara fixture is viewed as must-win in the closing stretch of the title race, with a fourth straight crown in sight.

The squad fly to Türkiye’s capital this evening to finalise preparations. Match group: Muslera, Günay, Davinson Sanchez, Abdülkerim Bardakcı, Victor Nelsson, Kaan Ayhan, Elias Jelert, Berkan Kutlu, Lucas Torreira, Gabriel Sara, Kerem Demirbay, Dries Mertens, Barış Alper Yılmaz, Mauro Icardi, Victor Osimhen, Michy Batshuayi.
