Turkey have released their 30-man squad for the World Cup play-offs, with Arda Okan Kurtulan among the most controversial absences. Coach Vincenzo Montella has left out the 23-year-old, who has been tipped for a possible first call-up to the Turkish national team for months.
Reactions have not been lacking on social media, where fans have expressed dissatisfaction with this decision. One of the comments reads: " If Arda Okan Kurtulan had grown up playing for Istanbul teams, he would have been selected for the national team by now. All of Turkey knows this. I'm tired of unfair decisions. Enough! ".
In this situation, a potential opportunity opens up for Albania. Kurtulan, who plays for Goztepe in the Turkish Super League, has stood out with his performances and is a versatile player on the right wing.
The footballer has been part of Albania's U-21 team until 2024, but an invitation from the national team's coach, Silvinjo, has not been made official so far. Meanwhile, his name continues to be frequently mentioned by Turkish fans as an alternative for their national team.
