Aral Şimşir withdrawn from Türkiye national team squad

Aral Şimşir has been withdrawn from the Türkiye national team's provisional squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Belgium and France. The 24-year-old, who is carrying an injury, had been under close observation at the national team camp. Following checks and assessments, it was determined that Şimşir would not be able to feature in either match.

In a statement, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) said that the treatment and individual training programme of Şimşir, who had joined the camp, had been carried out meticulously by the Türkiye national team's medical staff, but that the decision was taken to remove him from the provisional squad once it became certain that he would be unable to play against Belgium and France.
