Celik to undergo tests ahead of Bologna rematch | OneFootball

Against Como, he was taken off at the 70th minute with a right calf problem.

Today, Monday, March 16, Zeki Celik will undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury.

His participation against Bologna in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 is doubtful.

After the defeat at the Sinigaglia stadium, Gian Piero Gasperini spoke about the Turkish international’s condition: “He has a calf problem, hopefully it’s the beginning of cramps. He’s important for us because he can play in multiple positions, and I would have moved him to defense. We hope he can recover for Thursday.”

This season, Celik has made 36 appearances across the league and cup competitions. At the start of the season, he was a key figure for Gasperini.

However, his performance has steadily declined recently. Today he will undergo medical tests that will better clarify his condition and, in the event of a serious injury, his recovery time.

While waiting to see if he’ll play against Bologna, the situation regarding his renewal is still a hot topic in the Trigoria corridors. His contract expires in June and it’s unlikely he’ll extend it.
