Dirk Kuyt Explains: Why Is Mason Greenwood Not in the Squad?

In the 10th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe, playing host to Göztepe, drew attention before the match. English player Mason Greenwood was not included in the matchday squad of the yellow and navy club.

Fenerbahçe Technical Director Dirk Kuyt shared the reason for the absence in a statement to the broadcaster before the match. The Dutch coach said Greenwood has the flu and therefore cannot take part in the game.

Kuyt stressed that the player was very excited about this match, but that his health had to come first. The coach said they did not want to take any risks and added that the club's only goal was to get Greenwood well and have him on the pitch against Liverpool.

It appears that the Fenerbahçe management is closely monitoring the player's condition. The aim is for the player, who is out of the squad due to health problems, to be fully ready before the Liverpool match.
