Beşiktaş Face Başakşehir Test as Injuries Limit Italiano’s Options

Beşiktaş will host İstanbul Başakşehir at Tüpraş Stadium on Monday, October 26, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 local time. The Black Eagles enter the ninth round of the Süper Lig with 15 points from eight matches, having recorded five wins and three defeats.

Vincenzo Italiano’s side will seek to respond to their league defeat at Trabzonspor after drawing 2–2 with Crystal Palace in Europe. Beşiktaş have conceded in each of their last six competitive matches, making defensive improvement another priority.

Injuries have complicated preparations. Orkun Kökçü remains under treatment, while Fabio Miretti suffered a shoulder injury against Palace. Beşiktaş’s medical announcement confirmed that treatment had begun; Turkish Football subsequently reported an estimated absence of four to six weeks. Defender Ümit Akdağ has also begun treatment for a fracture in his right hand. All three are expected to miss the Başakşehir fixture.

Černý Injury Clouds Beşiktaş Win as Italiano Criticises Unpunished Incidents

Václav Černý’s injury added a concern to Beşiktaş’s 2–1 home victory over Kocaelispor. The Czech forward was injured in the 38th minute and replaced by İlhan Fakılı in the 39th. The initial report did not establish a diagnosis or recovery timetable.

Speaking after the match, Vincenzo Italiano said he doubted Černý would recover in time to play on Thursday, while stressing that the medical team would assess his condition. The coach also emphasised the need for squad rotation during the approaching run of league and European matches.

Italiano criticised incidents in the Alanyaspor and Kocaelispor matches that he described as punches against his players. He said their going unpunished was unacceptable. These remarks represent the coach’s assessment of the incidents.

Rashica Faces a Month Out as Vlahović Returns to Beşiktaş Training

 

Rashica Faces a Month Out as Vlahović Returns to Beşiktaş Training

Beşiktaş received contrasting injury news during the international break, with Milot Rashica expected to miss approximately a month while Dušan Vlahović returned to full training ahead of the Kocaelispor match.

Rashica was injured in the closing stages of Kosovo’s match against Austria on October 4. Following his return to Istanbul, examinations and an MRI revealed a strain and bleeding in the upper thigh muscle. Beşiktaş subsequently began treatment, while reports in Kosovo indicated that the winger is expected to remain unavailable for around one month.

The news creates a significant absence for Vincenzo Italiano during an important part of the domestic and European schedule.

There was better news concerning Vlahović. The Serbian striker, who had been working separately because of a calf problem, returned to team training on October 5. Reports from the club’s preparations indicate that he could be available for the Süper Lig match against Kocaelispor on October 11, although a return to the squad would not necessarily mean an immediate place in the starting eleven.

Beşiktaş have continued tactical and conditioning work at Nevzat Demir Training Facilities, with Italiano using small-sided matches as part of preparations for Kocaelispor.
