Turkey: Onuachu Set To Be Fit For Trabzonspor’s Clash With Beşiktaş
Retold by Oddsrama · 16 October 2026
Paul Onuachu looks set to shake off a knock picked up during Trabzonspor's Europa League match against KuPS on Thursday, clearing the way for him to feature in Monday's Turkish Super Lig showdown with Beşiktaş. The Nigerian striker netted early in the European encounter but limped off just six minutes later, prompting immediate worries about his readiness for the high-stakes domestic clash.
The early exit had observers concerned, but local reports suggest the injury isn't as serious as first feared. Onuachu was able to leave the stadium on his own two feet, a positive sign that points to a swift recovery. Trabzonspor have ramped up their efforts to get him fully fit and available for a fixture that matters plenty in their league campaign.
With two goals from seven Super Lig games so far this term, Onuachu remains a key man for the Black Sea club. His presence—or absence—could shift the dynamics in what shapes up as a crunch encounter. For punters watching this tie, monitoring his team news right up to kickoff will be crucial; Trabzonspor's attacking threat swings noticeably depending on whether the Nigerian is available to lead the line.
