In the Fenerbahçe squad, which is fighting for the championship in the Süper Lig, the injury to İsmail Yüksek has put the coaching staff in a difficult position. It has become a matter of curiosity who will replace İsmail, who suffered a torn ankle ligament during the derby match played against Beşiktaş.
According to a report by Sözcü Gazetesi, while Mert Hakan Yandaş is on the table as a domestic solution, head coach İsmail Kartal's Plan A is different. Kartal is considering finishing the remaining four weeks with Rade Krunic, whom he insisted on signing during the mid-season transfer window. The experienced manager has pressed the button to win back Krunic, who has struggled with adaptation issues and has remained below expectations so far.
It is stated that İsmail Kartal held a meeting with the 30-year-old midfielder, where he told Krunic, "It is time to show your quality," and explained his goals and role for the remaining weeks. Kartal expressed that he expects a style of football from the Bosnian star that highlights his mobility and pressing ability. The yellow-navy manager gave Rade Krunic the message, "We need your quality in the remaining 4 weeks. We believe in you."
