Leandro Trossard couldn't continue: Vincenzo Italiano's injury update!

Beşiktaş took a significant step towards the UEFA Europa League group stage with a dominant 3-0 victory over Lithuanian side Kauno Zalgiris in the first leg of their play-off tie.

Following the match, Beşiktaş manager Vincenzo Italiano addressed the team's performance and provided updates on player fitness. He confirmed that Vaclav Cerney had been unwell for two days prior to the game, leading to his substitution at halftime. However, Italiano expects Cerney to be available for the upcoming league match on Sunday.

“

Vaclav Cerney was a bit sick for two days before the match. I thought it was right to take him out after the first half. He will be on the field on Sunday. If you ask the player about his condition, they say 'I'm always fine,' but it doesn't happen like that. He will be on the field on Sunday.

Regarding Leandro Trossard, Italiano clarified the situation after the player was unable to continue the match. "Leonard Trossard took a hard knock but only has pain. He has no injury. So, he has no problem," Italiano stated, easing concerns about a potentially serious issue.

The comprehensive win puts Beşiktaş in a strong position heading into the second leg, aiming to complete the job and secure their place in the Europa League.
