Fenerbahçe defense will face challenges! Djiku and Osayi-Samuel leaving for African cup!
Fenerbahçe's defense will face difficulties at the beginning of the second half of the Super League.
Issues such as Becao‘s injury, Serdar Aziz‘s frequent injuries, and the inability to achieve the desired performance from Samet Akaydin have been added to by the absence of Osayi Samuel and Djiku due to the Africa Cup of Nations. Seeking a solution to this situation, it is claimed that İsmail Kartal has requested a center-back from the management.
Fenerbahçe’s head coach, İsmail Kartal, will start the second half of the league with defensive problems.
Osayi-Samuel and Djiku are going to the Africa Cup of Nations
Bright Osayi-Samuel has been selected for the squad of the Nigerian National Team for the Africa Cup of Nations.
If Ghanaian Alexander Djiku also participates in this tournament, which starts on January 13 and can last until February 11, Fenerbahçe will be without these players for a significant period.
According to Sabah Newspaper, Fenerbahçe’s opponents in this period will be Istanbulspor, Konyaspor, Gaziantep, Adanaspor (Turkish Cup), Samsunspor, Başakşehir, Ankaragücü, Antalyaspor, and Alanyaspor.
Becao will return in February
While the recovery of Becao is expected in February, concerns arise regarding other names in the defense line. The continuous injuries of Serdar Aziz and the perceived inadequacy of Samet Akaydın in terms of performance create uncertainties.
In search of a solution to this situation, İsmail Kartal specifically requested a center-back from the management. The yellow and navy team is actively looking for players in England and Spain.
