Misses final friendly
Kadioglu (undisclosed) was not on the team sheet for Saturday's 2-1 win over Venezuela.
Analysis: Kadioglu was not with his teammates Saturday as Turkiye played their final friendly ahead of the World Cup, with the defender still not fit from an undisclosed injury. This is a major concern for the team as they head into the tournament, as he was set to start at left-back. However, they may just be taking a cautious route and not risking him, potentially still an option for the opener.
Targeting return against Venezuela
Kadioglu (undisclosed) could also feature against Venezuela as the coaching staff work to have the left-back available in time for Turkey's World Cup opener on June 14, according to coach Vincenzo Montella, per NTV Spor. "Ferdi is the same."
Analysis: Kadioglu had been carrying some discomfort that was being monitored by the national team medical staff, and coach Montella's update suggests the situation is improving sufficiently to consider him for minutes against Venezuela. Turkey will be hoping to have their first-choice left-back fully available when the World Cup gets underway.
