Göztepe is experiencing a nightmare of injuries ahead of their match against Galatasaray. The İzmir team will be without Brazilian defender Allan Godoi and Ogün Bayrak for the Galatasaray match. Young striker İbrahim Sabra is also unlikely to play. Junior Olaitan, who is a star of the starting eleven and has recovered from his injury, is expected to be used as a substitute.
After the national break in the Super League, Göztepe suffered their first defeat of the season by losing 1-0 to Alanyaspor away, and the injury nightmare has begun again before the tough match against Galatasaray.
OUT FOR 1 MONTH
In the yellow-red team, which could not benefit from many of its players last season, it has been reported that Brazilian defender Allan Godoi will be out for at least 1 month.
3 PLAYERS SUFFERED SERIOUS INJURIES
In addition to the experienced player who could not play in the Alanyaspor away match, this season right-back Ogün Bayrak, midfielder Junior Olaitan, and forward İbrahim Sabra have suffered serious injuries.
Ogün, who was injured on his shoulder during Göztepe's summer camp in Slovenia, underwent surgery. It was stated that Ogün, who has been away from the fields for about 4 and a half months, will not be able to wear the jersey for another month. Göztepe's Beninese number 10, Olaitan, has also joined the list of injured players. The 23-year-old footballer, who suffered an injury after the match against Beşiktaş played at Gürsel Aksel Stadium in the 6th week, missed the matches against Eyüpspor (A) and Başakşehir.
DIFFICULT TO RECOVER IN TIME FOR THE GALATASARAY MATCH
It was claimed that the player, who was called up to the Benin National Team during the national break, went to his country despite being injured. Olaitan, who was in the squad for the last Alanyaspor match, came on in the 76th minute. Jordanian forward İbrahim Sabra also suffered an injury while playing for his national team. The 19-year-old forward, who was injured in the friendly match where Jordan played against Bolivia in Istanbul, could not play in the Alanyaspor match. It has been learned that it is also difficult for Sabra to get playing time in the match against the leader Galatasaray, which will be played away on Sunday.
