Buruk's statement, "We have no absences other than Singo," increased the reaction of the yellow-red fans waiting for the star footballer's return. Upon Singo once again being unable to play, fans raised the question, "When will this man play?"
Ahead of Galatasaray's match against Barcelona, attention had turned to Wilfried Singo, who has long been absent from the team due to injury. While the star footballer was expected to return to the pitch with the huge match, head coach Okan Buruk's statement dashed the hopes of the yellow-red fans.
OKAN BURUK DELIVERED THE BAD NEWS
Ahead of the match against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, Okan Buruk held a press conference and spoke about the team's latest situation.
The experienced coach said, "We have no absentees other than Singo. The other players trained. We will decide how much each player will play." With Buruk's words, it became clear that Singo would also not be able to play in the Barcelona match.
FANS' PATIENCE IS RUNNING OUT
Galatasaray fans, who have long been waiting for Singo to return to the pitch, reacted to the fact that the player would not be able to take part in the Barcelona match either. In particular, the uncertainty surrounding the star footballer's return date tried the patience of the yellow-red fans, and the question "When will this man play?" came to the fore.
NOT IN THE BARCELONA MATCH EITHER
Galatasaray will host Barcelona at RAMS Park in the second week of the Champions League. The yellow-red team will take the field without Singo in the critical encounter.
Okan Buruk's statement that the other footballers had participated in training, however, revealed that the coaching staff would evaluate squad choices before the match.
