Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech, a prominent figure at Galatasaray, has found himself entangled in a web of controversy that has stirred discussions within the football community.After sustaining an ankle injury in the round of 16 of the AFCON 2023 against South Africa (0-2) at the end of January, Ziyech embarked on the path of recovery. While he resumed individual training with Galatasaray on Monday, recent developments have cast a shadow on his return to the pitch, as reported by Le360.
Despite his efforts to regain fitness, the 30-year-old winger, boasting 59 caps and 22 goals with the Atlas Lions, will be conspicuously absent from the crucial derby against Besiktas on the 28th day of the Turkish league.
Intriguingly, Ziyech is not even present in Istanbul, raising eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.
As revealed by the Turkish press, Ziyech has taken an unexpected detour to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The rationale behind this deviation is linked to the player’s decision to continue his rehabilitation process at his former club, Ajax.
During his two-day visit, Ziyech sought medical treatment from Ajax’s doctors, a move that has sparked discussions about the appropriateness and implications of such a decision.
While the controversy surrounding Ziyech’s absence from the critical derby adds a layer of uncertainty to Galatasaray’s lineup, the winger’s commitment to regaining full fitness remains a focal point of discussion within football circles.
As fans eagerly await his return to the pitch, the dynamics surrounding Hakim Ziyech’s rehabilitation continue to be a topic of debate and speculation.
