Attila Mocsi and Ahmed Kutucu Facing Short-Term Absences

Club Vice President and Medical Affairs Chief Prof. Dr. Hasan Türüt issued a written statement detailing the diagnoses for Attila Mocsi and Ahmed Kutucu. Mocsi reported lower calf pain, and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging revealed a Grade 1 calf strain. Medical personnel estimate he will require one to three weeks to return to the pitch.

Kutucu experienced escalating pain in his right knee, prompting diagnostic imaging that uncovered bone marrow edema across three separate regions: the femur, tibia, and patella. The player faces an identical recovery window of one to three weeks.

Can Bozdoğan Confronts Multi-Facet Ankle Injury

Can Bozdoğan underwent evaluations for persistent discomfort in his right ankle. Clinical tests diagnosed a degenerative condition commonly known as a footballer’s ankle, accompanied by bone marrow edema and a first-degree external collateral ligament injury. Türüt noted that the player’s estimated return to the pitch is two to four weeks.

Khusniddin Alikulov Resumes Full Training Without Match Readiness

Khusniddin Alikulov returned to team training after a lengthy recovery from surgery. Alikulov underwent operations seven and a half months ago to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, meniscus, and medial collateral ligament. While he has been participating in team training for some time, it was evaluated that he has not yet reached the physical level to play matches in terms of athletic performance.

Rehabilitation Outlook for Rizespor Squad Depth

Club management indicated that individual rehabilitation programs remain tailored to each athlete’s physiological response. Technical staff adjusted weekly training loads and match preparations to accommodate the absences, relying on alternative squad options while the medical department monitors recovery milestones.
