ฤฐsmail Yรผksek‘sโ Late Yellow Card Rules Him Out โคof Crucial spain Qualifier
Bursa, Turkey – โคA late โคyellow card โขinโฃ the 89th โคminute of Turkey’s 2-0 victoryโ over Bulgaria โฃin Bursa has โฃresulted in a suspensionโข for midfielder ฤฐsmail Yรผksek, sidelining him forโ the critical away match against Spain โonโข November 18th. The card,โฃ received just twoโ minutes afterโค a near-goal scoring opportunity, โคdashesโ hopes for Yรผksek to participateโ in a match withโ notableโ implications for Turkey’s 2026 FIFA โWorld Cup โขqualification hopes.
Theโข suspension is a blow to the Turkish national team, as Yรผksekโค has been a โคkey player in their โqualifying campaign. With Turkey now โคguaranteed aโข play-off spot after โขreaching 12 points in โGroup E,โ the spain โmatch โขpresents an opportunity to further solidify their position andโค potentially secure direct qualification.โ Yรผksek joins teammates Arda Gรผler and Abdรผlkerim Bardakรงฤฑ โฃas players โคcurrently โfacing card-related concerns, as allโ three received yellow cards during the Bulgariaโฃ match.
Five Turkish players entered โคthe Bulgaria matchโข on theโข yellow card limit – Hakanโข รalhanoฤlu, Kenan Yฤฑldฤฑz,โ ฤฐsmail Yรผksek, kerem aktรผrkoฤlu, and Oฤuz Aydฤฑn – meaning another caution โwould resultโ in an automatic suspension for the Spain game. While โขรalhanoฤlu, Yฤฑldฤฑz, Aktรผrkoฤlu, and Aydฤฑn โavoided further bookings, Yรผksek’s late infraction will keep him โfrom participating in the November โข18th contest.
