Cimsir Calms Concerns Over Onuachu's Injury Status

Trabzonspor's interim head coach, Huseyin Cimsir, addressed concerns about striker Paul Onuachu's fitness following an injury during the team's 5-0 victory over Genclerbirligi in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday. Onuachu exited the match in the 44th minute due to a chin injury incurred from a physical challenge, leading to his substitution by Franculino Dju.

This raised worries about his availability for Trabzonspor's upcoming league match against Konyaspor and Nigeria's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. However, Cimsir, who succeeded Fatih Terim, downplayed the injury's severity, stating, “I don’t think it’s a very important thing.

There is no troubled situation.” Onuachu had previously ended a five-match goal drought by scoring twice in the match, with Mohamed Salah also contributing a penalty goal. The victory was significant for Trabzonspor as they aim to improve their standing in the league.
