He was transferred to Galatasaray for 30 million euros: Shocking report on Singo emerges

Wilfried Singo, whom Galatasaray added to their squad during the summer transfer window for a fee of 30 million euros, has been unable to return to the pitch following injuries sustained over the last two months. The health issues faced by the Ivorian right-back have become a top priority for the technical staff and management. Findings in the latest medical report, in particular, have increased doubts regarding the conditions under which Singo might return to action.

The Yellow-Reds have brought their points total to 10 following a 1-1 draw at home against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League group stage, putting them very close to securing a spot among the top 24 teams. In the final week, Galatasaray will face a critical match against Manchester City in England. While things may not be going as planned in the league, the door to the next round in Europe has been left ajar. Potential play-off opponents include strong teams such as Newcastle United, Atalanta, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Sporting, and Atletico Madrid once again.

However, the most discussed topic regarding the team has been Singo's health status. In the latest report published for Wilfried Singo, the club's medical board stated that due to a tendon injury, the risk of the player getting injured again during high-intensity sprints is very high. It was emphasized that this report, prepared by evaluating the player's past injury history and current condition, would be decisive for both season planning and the player's position on the field. The technical staff is considering different positional alternatives against the risk of Singo's current injury recurring.

GALATASARAY DOCTOR YENER INCE SPEAKS OUT

While many claims and rumors have been circulating about Wilfried Singo's injury at Galatasaray, club doctor Yener İnce spoke clearly about the news reports and the player's health status. İnce said, “Singo's health is very good. It is being said that he was chronically injured and was signed despite this. That has nothing to do with it. His MRIs are there for all to see. This is a big lie. It is said that he was injured because he returned early. His first injury was muscle-related. Lemina and Osimhen experienced similar injuries. They returned in similar timeframes. Singo's second injury has nothing to do with the first. This injury is in the tendon that holds the hamstring in place. You could play him, but when a tendon is involved, the risk becomes even greater. We talked to coach Okan. If there is the slightest hope, we have always used it until today. Many of our players who were said to 'not be able to play' have played. If it is medically possible, we play the footballer. Singo will also join training today. There is no problem with his health. In a 90-minute match, the risk is very high during a major sprint. A player like Davinson Sanchez is playing in his position anyway. Why should we take a risk? If we had to take a risk, we could have thought about it and taken it.”

'WE HAVE NEVER TAKEN SUCH A RISK WITH ANYONE'

Providing more details about the injury, Yener İnce stated, "However, this is an injury where we should not take risks. We have never taken such a big risk with any player to date. Singo was not signed while injured. There is a world of difference between the player's first injury and the second. Even their locations are different. Since the second injury is related to the tendon, we are trying to minimize the risk. Since the player currently playing in his position is healthy, we do not deem it appropriate to take this risk. This has nothing to do with coach Okan. He asks us, and we tell him that we should not take risks. It is a matter under our responsibility."

Touching on Singo's speed potential during a match, İnce concluded his words by saying, "This player reaches speeds of 37-38 kilometers per hour during a match. He has a high speed comparable to a 100-meter sprinter. He shouldn't experience anything at this speed. We must ensure this. The player is returning slowly. He will be much better in the next 10 days. Depending on the match calendar of that day, we may feel more at ease."

How Singo will take on a role in the team depending on the timeline of his recovery process will be shaped by new reports from the medical board and the final decisions of the technical staff. All eyes will be on whether the star footballer can return to the pitch with confidence.
