After his heroics against Besiktas last week, Osimhen missed training for some days as part of precautionary measures to prevent an injury. Due to this, there were fears that he would miss Galatasaray’s Europa League against Tottenham at Rams Park on Thursday.

However, all those fears were put to rest after the Nigerian striker’s name was seen on the starting eleven before the game.

Osimhen and his strike partner Mauro Icardi looked quite lively, as they functioned well in the high press, trying to force mistakes from the Tottenham defenders.
