Speaking to the media after Türkiye’s training session at the Olympic Sports Center, Ataman confirmed that Osman’s participation will only be determined closer to game time against Greece.

“Cedi’s treatment is ongoing,” Ataman said. “He was unable to train today (yesterday). Whether he plays and how effective he will be can only be assessed at game time. We will make our decision accordingly.”
