Galatasaray: When will Victor Osimhen return to the starting eleven?

Victor Osimhen was only brought on for the last thirty minutes of the previous match against Karagumruk. Now, it's clear when he will make his return to Galatasaray's starting lineup.

This time, all signs point to go: Victor Osimhen, Galatasaray’s record signing, is expected to start and light up the Yellow and Reds’ attack against Kayserispor on Sunday, August 24. To make room for the Nigerian striker, Yunus Akgün will be dropped to the bench, while Baris Alper Yilmaz will reclaim his spot on the right wing. This decision by coach Okan Buruk underlines his intent to maximize the impact of his star player right from kickoff.

Meanwhile, Mario Lemina, who has been nursing a minor injury since the match against Karagumruk, might also start from the bench. If that’s the case, the midfield will feature Sara as the number 8, with Yunus, Baris Alper and Sane forming the trio behind Osimhen.

After a flawless start to the season with two wins from two matches, Galatasaray hopes the return of their star striker will bring even more firepower and help the club continue their winning streak.
