Kocaelispor Issues Statement on Health Status of 4 Players

The Kocaelispor club made an official statement regarding the current health statuses and treatment processes of Bruno Petkovic, Tobias Gulliksen, Rigoberto Rivas, and Alexandar Jovanovic, who are currently in its squad.

Personalized Program for Bruno Petkovic

The treatment and rehabilitation process for the acute injury of Bruno Petkovic, who got injured in a pre-season friendly match, has been completed. Clinical examinations, imaging, and functional evaluations revealed no findings of acute damage.

Tendon Tissue and Performance Training

Due to injuries he suffered last season, structural changes were detected in the player's tendon tissue, which was seen to potentially limit his ability to use his on-field functions at full capacity. A 4-6 week personalized functional muscle performance training program has been initiated for Petkovic.

Return Process to Team Training

It was announced that following the completion of the program, Bruno Petkovic's return to team training and match performance will be planned gradually, depending on his meeting functional criteria.

It was shared that Tobias Gulliksen's treatment is ongoing within the club due to the injury he suffered in his right rectus femoris muscle on September 10.
