What is the condition of the injury? Okan Buruk gave a date for Mauro Icardi's return.

Galatasaray Technical Director Okan Buruk spoke after the Çaykur Rizespor match, which they won 5-0 at home in the 5th week of the Trendyol Super League. Buruk praised Gabriel Sara and gave a date for the return of Mauro Icardi, who is currently injured.

"GOOD NEWS FOR US"

Okan Buruk's statements are as follows;

"It is difficult to prepare for these matches after the national team break. We couldn't work with many of our players. Afterwards, we only trained together for 2 days. Our opponent greeted us with a 5-man defense. We solved this with a set piece. We saw that our opponent did not open up much during the game. The chances we created and the goals we scored are important for us. Also, we didn't give away too many chances. This is good news for us.

"WE NEEDED THIS"

We needed this kind of morale. After the transfer period ends, both the players and our minds become more relaxed. Starting with 4 wins is important for us. We want to win both the league and Europe. Despite our shortcomings, we played well. Sallai, Icardi, and Ziyech were not available. The players on the field gave their 100%.

GABRIEL SARA'S WORDS

Players are coming to a new country. The preseason, this preparation period, is important. We have two options. Either we kill them or we raise them too much. We don't need to raise them too much. He played a good game. We will always ask for this from him. He and Lucas did a great job together. The performance of our defense also ensured the good performance of the midfield. The importance of our defense was high. Our team played well overall. We shouldn't exaggerate too much. We shouldn't kill too much either. We have another match in 3 days.

"AMAZING ATMOSPHERE"

I thank our fans. They created an amazing atmosphere as always. Having a good team here also pulls them into the game. The team and the fans united and put on a good show.

"OUR STRIKERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT"

We have 3 important strikers. When they all come, we will see what to do systemically. It is very important for them to take ownership of the team. Osimhen and Batshuayi are doing this. Icardi has already become a legend.

ICARDI'S INJURY

Icardi's treatment is ongoing in his own country. He will be with us in 2-3 days. Currently, it seems that he will need another 2 weeks."
