Osimhen Suspended for Galatasaray’s Europa League Game Against AZ Alkmaar
Victor Osimhen will be unavailable for Galatasaray’s first-leg UEFA Europa League playoff against AZ Alkmaar due to suspension.
The Nigerian striker received his third yellow card of the tournament during last month’s 2-1 loss to Ajax, ruling him out of the upcoming match.
However, the 26-year-old will be back for the return leg at RAMS Park next week. So far, he has netted four goals in the competition this season.
Despite his absence, Galatasaray’s manager, Okan Buruk, remains confident in his squad’s ability to handle the challenge.
“We have some key players missing due to injuries and suspensions, and we didn’t travel with a large squad. But I trust my starting 11 and those coming off the bench,” Buruk said via the club’s official website.
He added that the team will fight to secure a strong position ahead of the second leg.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
