Osimhen’s iron will: “Even with a broken leg, he would face Liverpool”

Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly determined to feature against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League next Tuesday, despite still recovering from an ankle injury.

The Nigerian international sustained the knock earlier this month while representing the Super Eagles in a World Cup qualifier against Rwanda, forcing him to miss several club matches.

Speaking on Beyaz TV, respected Turkish commentator Sinan Engin highlighted Osimhen’s unwavering spirit and commitment to the game.
“I think Osimhen will play in the Alanyaspor match,” Engin said via Habersarikirmizi.
“Even if he breaks his leg, Osimhen would want to play in the Liverpool match. He’s not the type of player to pick matches. He will be 100 per cent on the pitch for the Liverpool match.”

Osimhen’s availability would be a major boost for Galatasaray, who face one of Europe’s toughest opponents in Liverpool. The striker’s intensity, drive, and refusal to back down from challenges have earned him a reputation as one of the most relentless forwards in world football.

Opinion:
Osimhen’s determination embodies the kind of fighting spirit fans love to see. Football, after all, isn’t just about tactics and technique — it’s about passion, heart, and the desire to rise for the biggest occasions. His willingness to play through pain reflects not only his personal ambition but also his commitment to Galatasaray’s cause.

That said, there’s always a fine line between bravery and recklessness. Champions League nights are career-defining, but no game is worth sacrificing long-term fitness. Osimhen’s fire is exactly what makes him special, but it is also why coaches and medics must sometimes protect players from themselves.

If he does make it to the pitch against Liverpool, fans can expect a fearless performance from the Nigerian star — one that could tilt the balance in what promises to be a thrilling clash.
