Ghana international Alexander Djiku has picked up an injury and is a major doubt for Fenerbahce’s upcoming Turkish Super Lig cash against Alanyaspor.
The Black Stars defender was forced off with an injury when Fenerbahce walloped Erzurumspor in the Turkish Cup on Wednesday night.
Fenerbahce cruised to a 5-0 win over their opponent, ensuring their qualification to the next round of the competition.
Djiku had to be subbed off after 55 minutes in the much-anticipated clash, held at the Ulker Stadium Şükrü Saracoğlu in Istanbul.
After the game, manager Jose Mourinho disclosed the Ghanaian defender picked up a muscle injury and will have to under scans to determine the extent of the injury, making him a major doubt for the weekend fixture.
“Djiku has a muscle injury. Diego Carlos and Yusuf have a problem with their knees. Let’s wait. We will have an MRI tomorrow and see what happens. This is the situation we are in, but we also have Skriniar and ÇaÄŸlar in this position” he said.
The 30-year-old Ghanaian centre-back has been outstanding under seasoned trainer Jose Mourinho, making 27 appearances across competitions for the club.
