Former Besiktas midfielder Sinan Engin has said that Galatasaray are faster without striker Victor Osimhen in the squad, citing the club’s recent performance against Amed SK.
Osimhen was absent from the match on Saturday because of a knee injury. The team started with Rafael Leão, Barış Alper Yılmaz and Yunus Akgün, who all played in the Turkish Super Lig encounter.
“The team got a bit faster without Osimhen. That’s an advantage too,” Engin said, as quoted by Asist Analiz. “When you have a good Leão, Barış and Yunus, you don’t miss Osimhen.”
Engin added that while Galatasaray do need Osimhen, the club’s success depends on the other three players performing well.
His comments come after the club’s recent match, where the absence of the injured striker was noted as a factor in the team’s quicker play.
