Why were İrfan Can and Cenk Tosun excluded from the squad? The fuse for the decision was lit after that match

The reasoning behind the exclusion of Cenk Tosun and İrfan Can Kahveci from the squad at Fenerbahçe has begun to become clear. The club had announced in recent days that both players were excluded from the squad, but had not shared any information regarding the reason.

However, according to information provided by journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, it is stated that not only head coach Domenico Tedesco and his team, but also individual meetings held with the players were influential behind the decision. The management announced that it reached this decision due to certain behaviors that occurred, especially in recent weeks.

TENSION THAT STARTED IN THE SAMSUNSPOR MATCH

It was learned that the fuse for the incident was lit in the match played against Samsunspor. In the 67th minute of the match, head coach Domenico Tedesco made the fifth substitution. At that moment, Cenk Tosun, who was warming up on the sidelines, realized he would not be entering the game and threw his vest to the ground in anger.

Subsequently returning to the bench, Tosun became part of an argument in the locker room after the match. This tension, which also involved İrfan Can Kahveci and Cenk Tosun, increased the unrest within the team. Following this incident, the management decided to exclude both players from the squad on the grounds of 'disrupting team harmony'.

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT EXPECTED

According to the report by A Spor, the decision regarding the exclusion of Cenk Tosun and İrfan Can Kahveci from the squad was made by President Sadettin Saran and the executive in charge of football, Ertan Torunoğulları. Sadettin Saran is expected to explain all the details of the incident to the public at a press conference he will hold on Wednesday.
