Dr Ince sends message to Osimhen
The Turkish doctor, who is a specialist in orthopedic and traumatology shared a post on his Instagram page after his patient returned to action successfully.
“Endless thanks to my brother who has given me the hard work, target 26 Victor❤❤. It takes a big heart to show a performance at this level after such a surgery,” he wrote.
Osimhen appreciated Ince’s post with two hearts emoji as a comment and reposted it on his Instagram story.
The Super Eagles forward thanked the doctor during his post-match interview, acknowledging Ince’s input physically and psychologically to his recovery.
“First of all, I want to thank Dr. Yener and the medical team very much. They really did a great job and ensured my best possible return,” he told GS TV.
“Of course, it wasn't possible to return at 100% immediately. I wanted to start as soon as possible, but they also prepared me very well psychologically.”
Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk acknowledged that the team missed Victor Osimhen during the times he had been injured this season.
“His performance in matches and training sessions elevates his teammates. Osimhen is very important and valuable to us. He is very valuable not only as a footballer but also as a person,” Buruk told TRT Spor.

“He only started in 17 matches in the Super League. He was absent for almost half of the season. We struggled in some matches without him.”
Galatasaray, despite missing their main man for about half of the season, has maintained their lead on the table and are on course for a fourth consecutive title.
They have a seven-point advantage at the moment and could wrap up the title at Samsunspor if they win and Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce fail to win.
