Osimhen returns from injury break, scores again for Galatasaray

Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has returned to the game after a short injury break, and was on target for Galatasaray on Saturday night.

The Nigeria international who is on loan at the Turkish giants played a substitute on his return and scores the team’s third in their 3-0 victory over Antalyaspor.

Osimhen had only returned to training this week, having been sidelined since September after picking up a knock.
