<br>Victor Osimhen has been named in Galatasaray's squad for today's Turkish Super Lig match against Antalyaspor after recovering from a muscle injury.

Osimhen resumed full team training earlier this week, and his inclusion in the matchday squad signals his readiness to return to action.

[Victor Osimhen](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/player-health-and-injuries/) became the most expensive African player in history when he joined Napoli for €70 million in 2020.
Galatasaray is one of Turkey’s most successful clubs, having won the Turkish Super Lig 23 times.
Osimhen’s hamstring injury is one of several he has suffered in recent years, highlighting the physical demands placed on strikers in top level football.
Mauro Icardi and Michy Batshuayi, both in the same squad as Osimhen, have also played for high profile European clubs like [Paris Saint](https://wiki.fuzokudb.com/fdb/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:WilfredoDudgeon) Germain and Chelsea.
Galatasaray’s home stadium, Türk Telekom Stadium, is known for having one of the most intense atmospheres in European football, often referred to as a cauldron by fans and pundits.
