Diego Carlos, who has recovered from his injury at Fenerbahçe, started in the starting eleven for the match against Kayserispor. Head coach Mourinho took a risk by bringing Edin Dzeko onto the field in place of the experienced center-back after his team fell behind 2-1. Carlos faced the fans' reactions when he was substituted in the 54th minute.
In the 32nd week of the Trendyol Super League, Fenerbahçe faced Kayserispor at home, and a surprising move came from head coach Jose Mourinho after falling behind 2-1.
SUBSTITUTED CARLOS AND BROUGHT IN DZEKO
Mourinho took a risk in the 54th minute and brought Edin Dzeko onto the field instead of Diego Carlos, who had returned to the starting eleven after recovering from injury. Diego Carlos, who was added to the squad from Aston Villa during the winter transfer period, had been injured in a match against Erzurumspor in the Turkish Cup in February and had been sidelined since.
RECEIVED BOOS FROM FANS
As Diego Carlos left the field to make way for Edin Dzeko, he faced boos from some of the yellow-navy fans. Fenerbahçe had transferred the 32-year-old center-back from the English Premier League team Aston Villa for approximately 11.5 million euros during the winter transfer period.
