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.
