Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Turkish analyst Levent Tu\u0308zemen has conveyed his conviction that Victor Osimhen will take to the field on April 26 when Galatasaray competes against their Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce in the Istanbul derby.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian international sustained a fractured forearm as a result of an aerial challenge with Ibrahima Konate\u0301 during Galatasaray\u2019s Champions League encounter against Liverpool at Anfield on March 18.<\/p>\n

Osimhen attempted to continue playing despite the discomfort but ultimately had to be substituted at half-time.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Super Eagles forward successfully underwent surgery at Maslak Ac\u0131badem Hospital, a procedure conducted by Yener I\u0307nce, the club\u2019s physician.<\/p>\n

The preliminary evaluation suggests that Osimhen may be sidelined for a period of five to six weeks, placing him in a race against time to recuperate in time for the derby.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Tu\u0308zemen has expressed confidence in Galatasaray\u2019s medical staff and has forecasted that Osimhen will be part of the starting line-up against Fenerbahc\u0327e.<\/p>\n

In remarks shared by haber sarikirmizi, he stated, \u201cUnless something unforeseen happens, Osimhen will be in the starting eleven for the Fenerbahc\u0327e match. There is an old Turkish saying: \u2018A broken bone heals in as much time as the person\u2019s age.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking this into account, along with the progress in contemporary medical technology and my faith in Galatasaray\u2019s skilled doctor, Yener I\u0307nce, I am confident that Osimhen will be on the field during the derby.\u201d<\/p>\n

This season, Osimhen has recorded 38 goal contributions (28 goals, 10 assists) across 39 matches for both club and country.<\/p>\n
