Turkey scare ahead of EM
Cruciate ligament rupture! Italy test with bitter consequences
Shock news for the Turkish national team: defender Ozan Kabak suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in a test against Italy (0:0) on Tuesday and will be ruled out for the European Championships in Germany.
The 24-year-old suffered the injury in the 38th minute of the game in a harmless tackle against Italy's Mateo Retegui and was immediately left lying on the ground with a contorted face.
Bitter news for Hoffenheim too
Kabak had to be carried off on a stretcher and taken to hospital. The bitter diagnosis followed on Wednesday: a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee. The defender will have to prepare for a long break and will miss the first half of the German Bundesliga season for his club Hoffenheim as well as the EURO.
The 26-time international was expected to play a key role in Turkey's defense at the tournament in Germany, but team boss Vincenzo Montella is now forced to make changes.
