Osimhen cleared for Atletico clash, confirms Buruk

Victor Osimhen has been declared fit to face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, giving his team a major boost ahead of the crucial fixture. The striker’s availability was confirmed on Monday by head coach Okan Buruk following concerns over his fitness.

Buruk said Osimhen trained fully and showed no signs of discomfort. “He is ready and eager to play,” the coach noted, underlining the Nigerian’s importance to the team’s attacking plans.

Osimhen’s return comes at a key moment, with his physical presence and goal threat expected to test Atletico’s defence. A club source described his fitness as “a big lift” ahead of the European showdown, as the side looks to strengthen its position in the competition.
