Vincenzo Italiano Searches for Solutions in Midfield at Beşiktaş and Expectations for Orkun Kökçü

Injuries are concerning the coaching staff at Beşiktaş, who will face Başakşehir in the 9th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig. Following the injuries of Orkun Kökçü and Miretti, Head Coach Vincenzo Italiano, who has started searching for options in the midfield setup, is evaluating alternative plans ahead of the Başakşehir match.

Beşiktaş Head Coach Vincenzo Italiano had previously stated that the midfield is the team's balance. Following Orkun Kökçü, Miretti's injury also disrupted the balance in the center, and Miretti's treatment process is expected to take up to 1.5 months. Following these developments, it is stated that Italiano is focusing on two alternatives to build the midfield. In the first option, Salih is to play as a defensive midfielder, with Ndidi and Olaitan taking roles in the center; while in the second option, Trossard, who has never played in the center in his career, is evaluated in Ndidi's zone. It is reported that the experienced manager will make his final decision on match day.

While the black-and-whites aim to pass the Başakşehir match without loss, it is hoped that Orkun Kökçü, whose injury continues, will take his place in the team for the Kasımpaşa and Celtic matches.
