Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk expressed disappointment over Victor Osimhen’s absence during their UEFA Europa League clash against Rigas FS, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
The Turkish side surrendered a two-goal lead to the Latvian team, and Osimhen, who missed the match due to a muscle injury, was sorely missed.
Buruk believes the 25-year-old forward could have been the key to securing a win.
“Naturally, we faced some challenges. Osimhen was unavailable due to his injury,” Buruk told the club’s official website. “With him, we would have had more options to find solutions in games like this.”
He added, “Icardi performed well, moving freely and comfortably, but I expected more from the substitutes. Unfortunately, we couldn’t deliver and needed to create more chances.”
