The return schedule for captain Orkun Kökçü, who has been unable to play in recent matches for Beşiktaş due to injury, has begun to clarify. It has been stated that the treatment of the national footballer, who was substituted at halftime during the UEFA Europa League match against Hoffenheim due to injury, is nearing completion.
It was noted that the 25-year-old midfielder is expected to join team training this week. However, it is reported that the technical staff is closely monitoring the player's condition and does not want to take any risks in the Kasımpaşa match if he is not fully ready.
It was conveyed that Orkun Kökçü wants to play in the Kasımpaşa match to be held on Sunday, November 1, but the decision of the medical team and the technical staff will be decisive. If the national footballer is not seen as ready, it is evaluated that the target match will be the Celtic clash on November 5.
The black-and-whites have not been able to secure a victory in the matches they played in the absence of Orkun Kökçü. It was stated that Beşiktaş was defeated 2-0 by Trabzonspor in the league and drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace in the UEFA Europa League.
Orkun Kökçü, who has appeared in 14 matches for Beşiktaş this season, has directly contributed to 9 goals with 5 goals and 4 assists. The captain's return is seen as important for the black-and-white team, which is entering a busy fixture schedule.
