Without Arda Guler, the Türkiye team prepares for the game against Portugal
Teams face each other next Saturday at 5pm
The Turkish national team trained this Thursday almost at full strength, with a view to meeting Portugal for the 2nd round of Group F of Euro 2024.
The session took place at the team’s base, which is based in the city of Barsinghausen, and had two absentees. The first was Arda Guler , who scored a fantastic goal in the team’s victory against Georgia , who was recovering from the fatigue he suffered from that match. «Arda Guler, who rested due to being fatigued, did not participate in training», clarified the Turkish Football Federation (FTF).
The 19-year-old comes from a season in which he only played 12 games for Real Madrid due to different injuries. The team led by Vincenzo Montella thus manages, with pincers, the efforts of the virtuoso young man, in order to have him in the best possible shape against the Equipa das Quinas.
Irfan Kahveci was the other player who did not participate in the Turkish national team’s training. The midfielder from José Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe, as clarified by the FTF, continues to recover from an injury suffered a few days before the start of the European Championship, and “worked separately from the rest of the team”.
This Friday, the Turks will carry out another training session at their headquarters, before flying to Dortmund, where they will face Portugal the following day, at Signal Iduna Park.
