Ümit Özat Comments on Greenwood Being Left Out of the Squad

Fenerbahçe lost 2-1 to Göztepe in Week 10 of the Trendyol Süper Lig. After the match, the team's squad selections also came under discussion. In particular, the omission of Mason Greenwood drew attention.

The 25-year-old Greenwood, who joined the squad with high expectations at the start of the season, was not included in the Göztepe matchday squad due to illness. Former Fenerbahçe player Ümit Özat, however, said he did not believe this explanation. Özat expressed doubt over whether the player really had the flu.

According to Özat, there may be a link between the coach's choice and the player's attitude. He suggested that Kuyt did not consider Greenwood for the squad that day, and that the player reacted to this situation. Still, Özat did not completely rule out the possibility that the player was genuinely ill, and said he wished him a speedy recovery.
