Besiktas has been dealt a setback with the news that Arthur Masuaku will be sidelined for their upcoming clash against Basaksehir after sustaining an injury during their last league encounter against Fatih.
The Besiktas defender, Arthur Masuaku, is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up an injury during the league fixture against Fatih last week.
The Congolese international experienced discomfort during the match on March 28 and despite receiving initial treatment, he has not fully recovered from the setback, necessitating a period of rest to aid his recovery process.
As a result, Masuaku will be unavailable for selection when Besiktas take on Basaksehir in their next Turkish championship fixture scheduled for Thursday, April 4 at 6:30 p.m. GMT.
Masuaku’s absence will be keenly felt by Besiktas, with the defender having featured prominently for the team this season, making a total of 14 appearances.
However, his playing time has been progressively reduced over the course of the campaign due to increased competition for places within the squad.
The injury to Masuaku serves as a blow to Besiktas as they aim to maintain their momentum and secure positive results in the closing stages of the season.
His absence will require manager Şenol Güneş to reshuffle his defensive options and find suitable replacements to fill the void left by the sidelined defender.
Despite the setback, Besiktas will be determined to overcome the absence of Masuaku and deliver a strong performance against Basaksehir as they continue their pursuit of success in the Turkish championship.
With crucial points at stake, Besiktas will be hoping to overcome this hurdle and emerge victorious in their upcoming fixture.
