Fred Injury Update: May return for Kasımpaşa match!
Fred, who got injured in the Samsunspor match, started individual training on February 6 after a successful recovery process. Fred will undergo an MRI. If the results turn out as expected, the star player will return to the squad for Sunday's Kasımpaşa match.
Fred has been a key figure in Fenerbahçe‘s game plan this season. In his absence, the Yellow-Navy team faced disruptions in both the system and results. However, the Brazilian midfielder has been among the unluckiest players of the season. The experienced player initially suffered a groin injury in the Pendikspor match on October 29 and missed 5 matches.
After recovering, Fred returned to the field in excellent form and quickly regained his rhythm. However, in the Samsunspor match on January 21, the Brazilian midfielder experienced a tendon injury. After the treatment process, Fred started individual training on February 6 and has not experienced any issues since then. Today is a critical day for Fred.
IF THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO OCCURS…
Fred’s MRI will be taken. If the results are positive as expected, Fred can join team training from tomorrow. The star player will take his place in the squad for the Kasımpaşa match on Sunday. Depending on the preference of coach İsmail Kartal, the experienced midfielder may play in the starting 11. However, if the worst-case scenario occurs and today’s MRI results are unfavorable, a new treatment and training program will be determined for Fred.
SEASON PERFORMANCE
In the 21 official matches that Fenerbahçe played with Fred, they achieved 20 victories and 1 draw. In the 15 matches where Fred did not play, there were 9 victories, 3 draws, and 3 defeats.
