Trabzonspor head coach Abdullah Avcı has provided insights into whether Savic and Okay Yokuşlu will play in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round match against Rapid Wien.
Trabzonspor will host Austrian side Rapid Wien tomorrow at Papara Park in the first leg of the two-match qualifying round. Head coach Abdullah Avcı addressed the media, answering questions about the physical readiness and potential playing time for new signings Savic and Okay.
When asked about the physical condition of Savic and Okay and whether they can play the full 90 minutes, Avcı responded: "I can't say for 90 minutes, but their physical condition looks good based on our observations and the data we received from their previous clubs and training sessions."
"Okay was with the national team. Savic is experienced and seasoned. Today's professional players don't start from scratch like in our time. They stay active. During the match, we get live data, and at halftime, we receive updates for 60 to 70 minutes. We will make decisions based on this data."
As Trabzonspor aims to secure an advantageous result against Rapid Wien, the potential participation of new signings Savic and Okay is a topic of great interest. According to Avcı, their physical condition is satisfactory, and their playing time will be determined based on real-time data during the match.
The contributions of Savic and Okay to the team's game plan are highly anticipated. Especially, Okay's performance with the national team and Savic's experience are vital for Trabzonspor's success in Europe. Avcı expressed satisfaction with the players' professional approach and physical condition.
