Trabzonspor, which will face Galatasaray in the Super League, received another bad news after Oulai. Fatih Tekke stated that the chance of defender Arseniy Batagov playing in the Galatasaray match is low.
After the match against Eyüpspor in the Super League, Trabzonspor's head coach Fatih Tekke made statements regarding the team's deficiencies before the match against Galatasaray. Fatih Tekke evaluated the possibility of Arseniy Batagov, who is injured, playing in the tough derby.
''IT'S HARD FOR HIM TO BE READY FOR THE G.SARAY MATCH''
Fatih Tekke explained that it is difficult for the Ukrainian player, who was injured in the match against Kayserispor, to play in the Galatasaray derby, stating, "His condition is more serious than we expected. The likelihood of Batagov being ready for the Galatasaray match seems low."
''OULAI IS A SIGNIFICANT ABSENCE''
Speaking about Christ Oulai's suspension for the Galatasaray match, the experienced coach said, "Christ is a young player, he plays with his emotions. He will learn by making small mistakes. He is an important absence for us. He is very valuable in breaking the pressure, but life goes on despite everything. One of the four players is suspended. We will prepare for a very tough match. Christ is very valuable for us, he is unpredictable, but he needs to be careful. I honestly couldn't see it clearly; if it was a protest, it was his mistake, but it happens, it was his mistake. If Christ is not available, we will try to evaluate our other alternatives."
