Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has discussed Victor Osimhen’s absence in the club’s UEFA Europa League 2-2 draw against against Rigas FS.
The Turkish Super Lig champions surrendered a two-goal lead to allow their hosts earn a share of the spoils.
Osimhen missed the encounter due to muscle injury.

The 25-year-old was substituted after the break in Galatasaray’s 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa last weekend.
“Of course, we can have shortcomings here. Victor Osimhen was not there because he was injured. With him, you can find more solutions in such matches,” Buruk told the club’s official website.
“We saw that Icardi also moved around more and played more comfortably; but of course, I had higher expectations from the players who entered later in the game. Unfortunately, we could not do this. We had to produce more.
“No matter how much the opponent closed down, no matter how close he played to his own goal, we had to produce more. A team with such special players had to find the winning goal somehow. After 2-2, we had a few chances here; but having the ball in our hands didn’t help us much here.”

Eh….what happened to some people’s Mauro Icardi ‘who knows his way to goal’…..LMAOoo. The Mauro Icardi who couldn’t fire Gala past Young Boys of Switzerland into the money-spinning UCL and now past a lowly Ruga FC from Latvia.
Like the SE, Gala seems not to know how to win once Osimhen ‘that is not good’ is not on the pitch…..hehehhehehe.
I am sure the Gala management who have desperately craved for Osimhen’s magic touch [even if it were to be an assist] to get a winning goal.
You’re a mad boy that is why you lack wisdom. When fans glamour for their stars to wake up then foolish people like you spring up reading all negative meanings to pioneer your satanic agenda of abusive words. Mark my word if you don’t stop your fooling you will not only rot in hell but your short life on earth will also be hectic. A time will come when you will not even have a cent to come online. I am cursing you because you’re a satanic agent from the pit of hell judging by your fruit.
And you who’s holy of all hollies calling people foolish are you sure you won’t be the first to pass through that damn gate of hell if you don’t repent??
Hahahaha….are you minding that lunatic in winter suit….LMAOOooo
I have not mentioned anyone’s name, but like the dog that he is, he is out here backing and biting everything in sight like one infected with alpha-rabies….LMAOoo
This is the same hypocrite fool who would hardly make a comment without name calling Dr.Drey as like someone who regularly has nightmares of Dr.Drey…LMAOoo, yet he’s all about the place biting trees and making confessions nobody asked of him…LMAOoo
And later, he come here acting all sanctimonious claiming he is chasing salvation….LMAOoo.
Do you have something doing? I’m asking because lately you seem to be unemployed so get something doing than loitering around for attention.
I am jobless indeed..You boasted proudly you’re extremely minted,so could you kindly offer this layabout a job so i will stop loitering around complete sports then
Hahahaha…see this one whose prayers (3 differnt times) that I should die 5 years ago has gone unanswered feeling he now has powers to lay curses…LMAOoo.
Even the devil your father is laughing out loud at you now for the kinda stunt you trying to pull.
Go and work on getting your prayers answered first before trying out curses…LMAOoo
You say my life is short….LMAOoo…please of what use is your own long life that took up till 2024 before you could ever secure a visa of any sort at the cost of selling off family inheritance despite claiming to be an oil mogul…LMAOoo
A time will come when I will not have a cent to come online you say….LMAOoo. Useless illiterate let me educate you a little since obviously you are still scarvenging for cents daily to be able to afford internet access and hence think everyone else is in the same whatsapp group with you….LMAOoo…as long as I pay taxes, and my company or that of my pension managers aren’t liquidated, I will continue to be online and remain in that your ugly face and fat lips like that of a leprosy victim….LMAOoo. I am sorry to tell you…..that day you wish for will never come.
I’ve been commenting on soccer forums online since bbc african football forum launched in the early 2000s and you will have to pray for CSN to die like others before it before you can ever be free from the acid which I pour into your intestines daily….LMAOoo.
So ndo oh. You are in for a long long ride…LMAOoo
And about roting in hell, don’t you think the mockery you make here on CSN of the shallow faith you claim to practice has not already secured a room for you in hell already….?! Or was it not just weeks ago you where here shouting it out to the ends of the earth that you are chasing salvation….?! Chasing salvation for you must be a one day thing…LMAOoo…being devilish must be a lifetime endeavor for you
Wretched idiot.
Don’t go and look for something to do with your life so you can repay all the debt you incured in order to be able to fund your mobility to the US early enough, but it turns to a generational debt….LMAOoo
Maybe it’s lack of education or common sense that people call their players out to do what they love him for. Once they do it senseless people can not different haters from the latter. You tell Osimhen not to insult his coach this same idiot go show face saying nonsense again that Osimhen was right to call a coach out like that. That video affected Osimhen in this transfer window in some ways because clubs where cautious and even Napoli become vindicated with their ill treatment of Osimhen because the video made everyone to judge Osimhen and if anyone comes out to say Osimhen was not wrong then that person has a Mental Issue. You have a mental problem but you don’t know it. Just like that Field Marshall or what he needs help but he doesn’t know. A lot of you come here acting like lunatics Kolo is the other word for it.
Hahahahaha….FOOL.
The video caused clubs not to have 130m and over 300,000 per week to sign Osimhen in this era of Financial Fair Play rule….LMAOooo.
That’s how low you IQ is….LMAooo
Later he will come here to lie to us he’s a financial manager….LMAOoo…when ordinary dynamics of transfer management since FFP was introduced into football is still rocet science to him…..LMAoooo
Olodo. Bloody illiterate.
chima e samuels – you are an Absolute retard! A bloody disgrace to your parents, your family, the Igbo people and all that are unfortunately connected to a bigoted POS like you. Bloody Ghanaian refugee! Boasting about a visa lool! That says it all about your level and I need not add anything to that!
Animal seeking attention wherever he can get it, even if it is negative attention – you must be starved of attention in your miserable life, people must walk into you and through you everyday of your useless life because they simply cannot see you. You are not only retarded but invisible also lool! chima samuels the invisible goat. hehehe
I have told you to ask yourself one question – why are you so hated in life, even on here CSN you are hated by everyone, including your fellow Igbo’s – I can mention a few Igbo’s who think you are a stain on the Igbo name but I won’t bother because you already know all this your own damn self.
Absolute sodden plank! Total TWAT! hehehe
..and in few words, he’s rendered igboland desolate.
Una don finish abi? It really stinks!
Yeah when you fart,it does really stink!
Yea…your rustic level of illiteracy stinks.
It’s so bad you can’t even successfully pretend to be classy to save your own life….LMAOoo…and when you do, its always tacky, lacking in eophistication and just doesn’t blend.
Village boy…LMAOoo
Mumu lol
See as them arrange themselves. My small boys lined up in the order I would love to have them. Make una park well I don cancel the curse I placed on egungu. As for the other two errand boys in this matter go get a job than running around CSN poking nose around what doesn’t concern you.
CSN!!!
Where is my reply to the bastard calling himself chima e samuels???
Ehn! You people want to start again abi???
Gala coach needs help, last week your club surrenderd 3 goals lead. This week your club surrenderd 2 goals lead.
It does speak volume about your backend. Your backend shouldn’t be conceding like.
Put your house in other okan buruk and stop wasting the effort of strikers.
Osimhen will be better in November for Afcon qualifiers. He is the best. Y’all can thank me later.
Chima okoroo Samuel how many times do I call you trend the earth with love peace happiness humility nd forgiveness this earth get the way it be oooo
Chima E Samuel, let me add to what my brother Nnamdi said…remember aladiegwu. So tread softly. Iseee!
Nnamdi your advice is misplaced because the person who need it is the reason I’m in tug of war with these tyrants who misjudged this same word of caution to Osimhen as Hate. I’m not someone who neither carry these Igbo thing on my head like some of you that even go far as inventing some Biafra nonsense. Our thinking no be the same, shoe get size you people easily misinterpret everything in your world so I grasp why we’re oppositions.
..and in few words, he’s rendered igboland desolate.
