Galatasaray Feel Osimhen’s Absence as Title Race Tightens in Season Run-In

Turkish champions Galatasaray are beginning to show signs of struggle in the final stretch of their league campaign, with the absence of star striker Victor Osimhen proving costly in their push to retain the title.

Since the Nigerian forward was sidelined due to injury, the team’s attacking sharpness and consistency have dipped, leading to dropped points at a critical stage of the season.

His unavailability has forced a reshuffle in the attacking setup, but the replacement options have failed to match his influence in front of goal, leaving the club less decisive in key matches.

As a result, Galatasaray’s lead at the top of the table has been significantly reduced, with close rivals closing the gap and increasing pressure ahead of the remaining fixtures.

With only a few matches left, the title race has become increasingly tight, and the champions are now under pressure to rediscover form quickly if they hope to finish the season on top.
