Former Turkish international Serkan Balci has said Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen’s biggest challenge this season is the difficulty of dealing with defeats, rather than his physical condition.

Osimhen is currently recovering from a knee injury sustained during Galatasaray’s Champions League match against Stuttgart last week.

Speaking on Tivibu Spor, Balci said the Nigerian forward was already operating at his physical best but struggled when his team failed to win.

“Osimhen’s biggest problem is losing games during the season because he is playing at his maximum physical capacity,” Balci said, as quoted by Habersarikirmizi.

The 27-year-old missed Galatasaray’s 4-3 Turkish Super Lig victory over Amed SK at the weekend due to the injury.

He is expected to return to action after the international break.
