Good news for Beşiktaş: Orkun Kökçü set to return against Kocaelispor
Orkun Kökçü, who was withdrawn from the national team due to a crack in his toe, is expected to feature for Beşiktaş in the Kocaelispor match.
Beşiktaş captain Orkun Kökçü has shown remarkable dedication to his club in recent weeks. The experienced midfielder stayed on the pitch despite carrying an injury during the matches against Marsilya and Amedspor, refusing to leave his teammates shorthanded. That performance earned him a call-up to the Turkish national team's squad for the UEFA Nations League.
Wearing the national jersey, Orkun took the field against Italy despite pain in his big toe, demonstrating considerable self-sacrifice. However, the discomfort worsened after the match, forcing the national team's coaching staff into a difficult decision to withdraw the 25-year-old from the squad.
Subsequent examinations revealed that Orkun Kökçü had suffered a crack in his big toe. The midfielder is currently undergoing treatment and is expected to rejoin Beşiktaş training sessions after a period of rest.
The captain's condition is being closely monitored by the club's fanbase. According to reports, Orkun Kökçü is expected to feature in the Süper Lig clash against Kocaelispor on Sunday, October 11. The news has brought considerable relief to the Beşiktaş camp.
