Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk will now have to decide on who will lead his strike force in a Turkish Super Lig clash against Kasimpasa tomorrow.
Leading Turkish newspaper Milliyet has reported that Buruk will go for broke against Kasimpasa by starting both Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi, who has fully recovered from a groin injury.
Icardi came off the bench to replace Osimhen and went on to score in a 3-1 home win over PAOK in the UEFA Europa League.
His goals last season gave ‘Gala’ the Turkish championship.
Osimhen has yet to score in three appearances for his new club, but has been credited with three assists.
His former teammate at Napoli, Dries Mertens, is likely to be rested for tomorrow’s league game after a drop in performance against PAOK.
Galatasaray have won their first six matches in the Super Lig.
