Galatasaray were euphoric after their 3-2 victory against Tottenham in the Europa League. But the Turks lost Mauro Icardi until the end of the season.
Last season, Michy Batshuayi was blocked by the duo Edin Dzeko – Dusan Tadic at Fenerbahce. In addition to attracting the wrath of his former supporters, Batsman finds himself in the same situation at Galatsaray: Victor Osimhen and Mauro Icardi are the indisputable holders.
Since the start of the season, Batshuayi has started two matches in the Turkish championship, each time due to an absence of Icardi. However, the situation has evolved.
Against Tottenham, while Victor Osimhen scored a double on two caviars from Dries Mertens, Mauro Icardi injured his knee and had to be evacuated on a stretcher.

The diagnosis has been made and it is serious: the Argentinian suffers from a rupture and injury to the meniscus in the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee. He should no longer play a single match this season.
Ascended to his place against Spurs, Michy Batshuayi should get his chance more often in the coming months. Nothing to rejoice about given the seriousness of Icardi’s injury but still a famous change of situation for Batsman, still confined to this role of supersub.
