  • Mohamed Salah will not play in Trabzonspor's friendly match against Göztepe in Izmir.
  • The reason for his absence is believed to be insufficient training with the team since his recent transfer.
  • The Egyptian star is expected to be in the starting lineup once the Süper Lig season begins.

Trabzonspor's new star signing, Mohamed Salah, will not feature in the team's friendly match against Göztepe in Izmir. The highly anticipated encounter will see the Turkish club face off against Göztepe, but the Egyptian international has been excluded from the squad.

While official reasons for Salah's absence have not been detailed, it is widely speculated that the player has not yet completed enough training sessions with his new teammates. Trabzonspor's official squad list for their İzmir training camp also notably omitted the former Liverpool forward.

Despite his unavailability for the friendly, expectations are high for Salah's debut in the Süper Lig. He is anticipated to be a key player in Trabzonspor's starting lineup when the league season commences.

The match against Göztepe also marks a significant occasion for İsmail Köybaşı, who is set to play his final professional game and bid farewell to football on his home turf in İzmir.
