Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has confirmed that Victor Osimhen is still not fully fit following the injury he picked up on international duty with Nigeria two weeks ago.

The 26-year-old striker sat out the Turkish champions’ league game against Eyupspor last weekend and was tipped to return in time for their UEFA Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. However, his name was missing from the 23-man squad that traveled to Germany on Wednesday.

Buruk explained that despite efforts in training, Osimhen wasn’t ready to feature. “Osimhen has been dealing with an injury. We couldn’t use him in the league, and while we hoped he would be ready for this game, it didn’t work out,” Buruk told the club’s official website. “He trained for the past two days, but his feedback made it clear he’s not yet fit to play.”

PSG manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on who should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, saying he believes the award should go to one of his players.

He said, “The Ballon d’Or should go to a PSG player, We have players who have won the Champions League. We have Fabián, who won the World Cup as well. We have Ousmane, who won the Ballon d’Or last season. That’s my opinion, but I’m not interested in individual awards.”

The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, with the shortlist set to be revealed on September 8.
