Title: “Turkey: Arthur Masuaku’s eventful week between selection, injury and controversy”
Introduction :
In the world of football, players are often faced with turbulent weeks, mixing joy, disappointment and controversy. This is precisely what happened to Arthur Masuaku, the talented Congolese full-back playing for Besiktas. Between his call for selection, an injury that occurred during a match and a controversy that broke out, a look back at a busy week for Masuaku.
Call for selection and qualification prospects:
With six games and two assists, Masuaku made a brilliant start to the season which earned him a call up to the national team by Sébastien Desabre. Among the eight defenders selected, Masuaku is a key element of the team that will face Sudan in Kinshasa. In the event of qualification, he will be one of the pillars of the team.
Injury during a game:
However, the prospect of qualification was marred by an injury that occurred in the Europa League Conference game against Dynamo Kyiv. Holder for this match, Masuaku had to leave the field at half-time due to a stretch and bleeding in the biceps femoris. The duration of his unavailability remains unknown, leaving doubts about his participation in the next matches.
Controversy in press conference:
But that’s not the only downside for Masuaku. After his team’s victory against Dynamo kyiv, Ukrainian coach Lucescu Mircea made controversial remarks at a press conference. He said: “We played against an African national team, not against Beşiktaş. Gambian, Congolese, Ghanaian, Angolan… It’s hard to play with 11 club-trained players against such a team.” These remarks aroused the anger and indignation of Masuaku, who reacted on social networks by publishing a questioning tweet.
Conclusion :
Masuaku’s week has been particularly turbulent, oscillating between selection call, injury and controversy. Despite these obstacles, he remains a talented player who shows perseverance and commitment on the pitch. Let’s hope that his injury is not too serious and that he can quickly return to the pitch to continue to shine with his team
