Ferdi Kadıoğlu

Kadioglu (undisclosed) has returned to full training Monday with the Turkiye squad and will be an option for their World Cup opener against Australia on June 14, according to AA Spor.

Analysis: Kadioglu had missed Saturday's friendly against Venezuela while his fitness was being monitored, but his return to collective sessions is a clean bill of health heading into the tournament. Coach Vincenzo Montella will now have his preferred left-back option available when Turkey's World Cup campaign gets underway.

Misses final friendly

Kadioglu (undisclosed) was not on the team sheet for Saturday's 2-1 win over Venezuela.

Analysis: Kadioglu was not with his teammates Saturday as Turkiye played their final friendly ahead of the World Cup, with the defender still not fit from an undisclosed injury. This is a major concern for the team as they head into the tournament, as he was set to start at left-back. However, they may just be taking a cautious route and not risking him, potentially still an option for the opener.
