Fenerbahçe star Alex de Souza is out for this weekend's match against Eskişehirspor, according to an announcement by the club on Thursday. In addition, he may be joined by teammate Gökhan Gönül, who was injured in Wednesday's Turkish National Team loss to Spain. Sources within the club say Alex could play this weekend, but he is dangerously close to a suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards, something the club does not want to risk.
Alex is currently dealing with a minor injury he suffered recently. The Brazilian veteran has a muscle strain in his right leg and has missed the team's training sessions this week. He has been undergoing treatment on the leg throughout the week.
Sources close to the team say Alex could be available this weekend, but if he picks up another yellow card, he would be suspended due to acquiring his fourth card. The team and coaching staff don't want to risk such a move this weekend against Eskişehirspor. The team plays in the world's biggest derby next weekend against Galatasaray at Ali Sami Yen, a game Alex cannot afford to miss.
Alex could be joined on the sidelines by teammate Gökhan Gönül this weekend. The midfielder was injured Wednesday in the national team match against Spain. The Fener coaching staff is expected to make a decision on his status later in the weekend.
