Trabzonspor Aims for Onuachu's Fitness Before Başakşehir Clash

Trabzonspor is focused on getting striker Paul Onuachu fit for their upcoming Turkish Super Lig match against Başakşehir on Sunday. Onuachu was ruled out due to a muscle injury sustained during training, as confirmed by the club last Friday.

An MRI scan revealed a thigh muscle injury, and he is currently undergoing intensive treatment, although no clear timeline for his recovery has been provided. Trabzonspor's head coach, Fatih Tekke, emphasized the importance of Onuachu's fitness, especially after the team managed only a 1-1 draw against Alanyaspor, leaving them four points behind league leaders Galatasaray.

Onuachu has had a prolific season, scoring 24 goals in 28 appearances, which accounts for 40 percent of Trabzonspor's total league goals. The team also has a crucial Turkish Cup quarter-final tie against Samsunspor scheduled for next Thursday.
