Orkun Kökçü to Start on the Bench in Celtic Match

Beşiktaş will travel to face Scottish side Celtic in Week 4 of the UEFA Europa League this evening. The match at Celtic Park is set to kick off at 23:00 TSİ.

Orkun Kökçü, who has been out of action for some time due to injury, took part in training with the team before the match. The international midfielder also travelled with Beşiktaş to Scotland.

After the injury he suffered in the Hoffenheim match, Orkun missed the games against Crystal Palace, Trabzonspor, Başakşehir and Kasımpaşa. His return has brought joy to the black-and-whites. Head coach Vincenzo Italiano announced that Orkun Kökçü will start the match on the substitutes' bench.

According to the Italian coach, the international player could get minutes in the second half, depending on how the match unfolds. Orkun is not planned to start in the starting XI, and he is expected to come on during the match at the coaching staff's discretion.
