Galatasaray's Wilfried Singo returns to full training after injury layoff
Wilfried Singo has overcome a roughly month-and-a-half injury and rejoined Galatasaray's full training session ahead of the Lille clash.
Galatasaray have received some welcome news as Wilfried Singo has finally put his lengthy injury absence behind him. The Ivorian right-back took part in full training with his teammates today, ending an anxious wait of around six weeks for the club. The timing could not be better, with the Istanbul giants deep in preparations for a crucial Champions League fixture.
The 25-year-old defender last featured for just 17 minutes in Galatasaray's Trendyol Süper Lig clash against Göztepe in matchweek three. Shortly after that appearance, Singo picked up an injury during training that kept him sidelined ever since. The experienced full-back missed a total of seven matches during his time out, making his return to full training a significant boost for the squad.
Galatasaray will travel to face Lille on Wednesday, October 21, in their third Champions League group-stage match. The coaching staff will be relieved to have Singo back in contention for such an important European fixture. Whether he will be fully ready to feature in the squad for that match remains to be seen in the coming days.
Singo joined Galatasaray from Monaco at the start of last season in a transfer worth 30.77 million euros. Since arriving in Istanbul, the defender has been repeatedly hampered by injury problems. According to reports, the Ivorian international has missed a total of 30 matches for the club due to various fitness issues. This recurring pattern has proven a challenge both for the player and the technical staff in terms of maintaining consistency throughout the season.
