Mauro shared several photos showing him in Galatasaray's training kit, working alongside his fellow players. Judging by the broad smile on the Argentine’s face, it’s clear he is delighted to be back on the field at last.

It's worth noting that Icardi has been sidelined since November last year after suffering a serious injury—a torn cruciate ligament in his knee. Since then, the forward has been on a long road to recovery, only resuming individual training in April of this year.

Despite Icardi’s absence, Galatasaray managed to complete a domestic double, clinching both the league title and the Turkish Cup. In the absence of the Argentine striker, Victor Osimhen stepped up for the Istanbul side, emerging as one of the team's standout performers.

With Icardi now back in training, there’s a real possibility he could feature in the final two matches of the Turkish Super Lig, the first of which kicks off tomorrow.
