Trossard Returns to Besiktas Starting XI Against Kocaelispor

Besiktas is preparing to face Kocaelispor with Leandro Trossard expected to return to the starting lineup after recovering from a heel injury. According to Sabah.com.tr, the Belgian winger missed two matches and is ready to resume his role after improving his fitness.

According to Sabah.com.tr, Trossard was a key figure in Besiktas victory at Fenerbahce, where he contributed an assist, before scoring his first goal for the club against Erzurumspor. The 31-year-old later suffered an injury that kept him out against Amed and Marseille.

Sabah.com.tr reported that Trossard joined Belgium during the international break despite his heel problem. He did not play in the first two Nations League matches and received only 18 minutes across the final two games.

During the break, Trossard continued recovery work and increased his training level, according to Sabah.com.tr. The report said he had completed preparations to return physically and was viewed as one of Besiktas key options against Kocaelispor.

Besiktas entered the match looking to recover after an Amed defeat before the international break, according to Sabah.com.tr. The team aimed to start a new run with support from its home supporters.
