Galatasaray have confirmed that striker Victor Osimhen has started individual indoor sessions as the next step in his recovery from a fractured right forearm.

Coach Okan Buruk and the medical team are carefully managing his progression from indoor work to outdoor drills and full-contact training, with a protective splint planned for his eventual return. This positive update also boosts hopes for the Nigerian national team ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
