Kerem Akturkoglu loses consciousness in Fenerbahçe win and spends night in hospital | OneFootball

Kerem Akturkoglu, the former Benfica forward, briefly lost consciousness during Fenerbahçe's 4-2 win over Konyaspor on Saturday and departed on 54 minutes.

The incident came on 51 minutes when his head collided with an opponent's chest, prompting immediate concern as he fell to the turf. After regaining consciousness, he was taken off on a stretcher and transported to Ataşehir Hospital. The club said his condition is stable and initial tests revealed no problems.

He was visited by club representatives after the game and kept in overnight for observation as a precaution.

Further examinations are planned to provide a more complete assessment of the former Benfica player's condition.

On the pitch, Greenwood led the way with two goals and an assist, with Asensio and Muriqi also on the scoresheet as Fenerbahçe responded to their opening round loss to Gençlerbirligi.

Nélson Semedo started, while Diogo Gonçalves was in Konyaspor's XI. Attention now turns to the Champions League, with Lyon, coached by Paulo Fonseca, visiting on Wednesday.
