Faces late fitness test
Kadioglu (hip) could be available for Wednesday's EFL Cup clash against Manchester City depending on Tuesday's training session, while he is expected to return for Saturday's Premier League rematch, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus. "It's just a hit on the hips. Of course, it's very painful. So it's something where both players have to deal with the pain and I think pain for every player feels differently. We have to see how they train today, if it's possible if they can train and, if yes, then of course they will be an option for tomorrow. But they definitely should be both available for the weekend."
Analysis: Kadioglu has received an encouraging injury update after being forced off just seven minutes into Sunday's 2-0 Premier League defeat against Liverpool. The Turkish defender sustained a painful blow to his left hip and was replaced by Costinha at right-back, initially raising concerns about a potentially significant injury. However, coach Hurzeler has clarified that the issue stems from an impact rather than a confirmed muscular problem, with the defender's availability largely dependent on his ability to manage the discomfort. Kadioglu could be included in Wednesday's EFL Cup squad against Manchester City if he successfully completes Tuesday's training session, although his participation has not yet been confirmed. Coach Hurzeler expressed confidence that both Kadioglu and Chema should be available for Saturday's Premier League rematch against City, suggesting neither is expected to face an extended absence. Costinha remains an alternative at right-back should Kadioglu require additional recovery time.
Forced off with apparent hip injury
Kadioglu (hip) was forced off in the seventh minute of Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool after suffering an apparent left hip injury, according to Andy Naylor.
Analysis: Kadioglu's match came to an abrupt end just seven minutes into Sunday's encounter against Liverpool, with the defender unable to continue after appearing to hurt his left hip. Costinha came on as a direct replacement at right-back, taking over his defensive responsibilities. The nature and severity of the injury remain unclear, and further assessment will be needed to determine whether Kadioglu faces any time on the sidelines. Costinha could see additional opportunities at right-back if Kadioglu is forced to miss upcoming fixtures.
