Turkish international Cinque Tucson will miss EM this summer. The 29-year-old striker injured his right knee on Sunday when his club Beşiktaş Istanbul played 4-2 at BP’s Erzurumspor in the Turkish Premier League and had to be substituted in the 76th minute.
Beşiktaş coach Sergin Yalçın said that the injury was “very serious,” according to “NTV Sport”. The season is over for the former German junior player. Toson, who has been on loan from Everton to Besiktas from early February to the end of June and remains under contract with Liverpool until 2022, will be out for six or seven months, Yalçın said.
Turkey will play the opening match against Italy in the European Championship on June 11th. The other two competitors in Group A are Switzerland and Wales. Tosun decided after several missions for German junior teams from U16 to U21 to play for Turkey’s first national team. The striker has so far played 45 caps (18 goals) and was also part of coach Senol Jeunes’ squad for the World Cup qualifying matches at the end of March.
