Irfan Can Kahveci to fill in for injured Fred at number 8 position!
Fenerbahçe's head coach İsmail Kartal has identified the player who will fill in for the injured Fred in the number 8 position, following the Brazilian star's injury during the match against Samsunspor, which will keep him sidelined for an extended period.
Fred, who couldn’t complete the match against Samsunspor due to an injury and was diagnosed with a tendon tear in the MRI, will be away from the fields for an extended period.
İsmail Yüksek fell short of expectations
In the absence of Fred in the yellow-navy team, the question of who will wear the number 8 jersey became a topic of curiosity. İsmail Yüksek, who was given the task in Fred’s position in the away game against Başakşehir, did not meet the expected performance.
Kartal chooses İrfan Can to replace Fred
According to Sabah’s report, Fenerbahçe’s head coach İsmail Kartal aims to compensate for the absence of the Brazilian player by utilizing the in-form İrfan Can Kahveci.
Number 8 İrfan entrusted to the right wing Cengiz
While the coaching staff plans to assign the 28-year-old national player a central midfield role until Fred recovers, Cengiz Ünder will take the position on the right wing. Simultaneously, the goal is to establish a defensive-offensive bridge with İrfan Can.
Experiencing his most scoring season
The 28-year-old İrfan Can Kahveci is enjoying the most prolific season of his career. In 32 matches played for Fenerbahçe this season, the national player has contributed directly to 21 goals with an impressive performance of 12 goals and 9 assists.
