Galatasaray fans have reason to be optimistic as star winger Hakim Ziyech inches closer to a much-anticipated return to the pitch. The Moroccan maestro, who has faced setbacks due to injuries since joining the Turkish side, is gradually regaining fitness after a spell on the sidelines.
Hakim Ziyech, 30, has encountered challenges maintaining consistent on-field presence, frequently finding himself in the grip of injuries since his arrival in Turkey.
His recent setback involved an ankle injury suffered during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), sidelining him for an extended period.
However, the determined winger has been diligently undergoing individual training sessions during the past weeks to facilitate a full recovery.
Encouragingly, Ziyech is progressing well through the rehabilitation phase, signaling his imminent return to group training with the Galatasaray squad.
This crucial step is anticipated to enhance his readiness for the highly anticipated clash against Besiktas on March 3, 2024, in the Turkish Süper Lig.
The encounter holds immense significance in the title race, with Galatasaray currently positioned second with 69 points, just trailing behind Fenerbahçe, who sits at the summit with 70 points and a game in hand.
Hakim Ziyech’s impact for Galatasaray has been noteworthy, contributing four goals and two assists in 14 appearances before his injury hiatus. As the dynamic winger gears up to rejoin his teammates, Galatasaray supporters eagerly await his return, hopeful that his skill and flair will play a pivotal role in steering the team toward success in the crucial fixtures ahead.
