Mohamed Salah has been included in Trabzonspor’s squad for their Turkish Super League meeting with Samsunspor as the club look to build on their emphatic 4-0 victory over Galatasaray.
Trabzonspor announced their list of available players for Saturday’s fixture, with the Egyptian forward returning to training in recent hours after completing his break following international duty with Egypt.
Salah featured for the Egyptian national team against Angola in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers before returning to his club commitments. His inclusion gives Trabzonspor another attacking option as they prepare to face Samsunspor away from home.
The club will be aiming to collect three points and maintain the momentum generated by their convincing win against Galatasaray in the sixth round of the league campaign.
Salah, meanwhile, will be looking to continue his scoring form and add to his tally of seven league goals this season. Reaching eight goals would mark another milestone in his current Turkish Super League campaign.
Trabzonspor enter the fixture in seventh place with 10 points from their opening six matches. Their record stands at three victories, one draw and two defeats, leaving them looking to improve their position as the season progresses.
Salah returns after international duty
Salah’s return to Trabzonspor training follows his involvement with Egypt during the recent international break.
The forward had been away from the club while representing his country against Angola in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. After completing his international commitments and taking a short break, he has now rejoined his team-mates.
His presence in the squad will be a boost to Trabzonspor’s preparations as they seek to maintain the form shown in their latest league outing.
The 4-0 victory over Galatasaray gave the team an important result, and they will now look to carry that performance into their encounter with Samsunspor.
For Salah, the match presents an opportunity to resume his club scoring run after returning from international duty. The Egyptian will be aiming to make an impact as Trabzonspor pursue another victory.
Trabzonspor target another league win
Trabzonspor travel to face Samsunspor with the aim of collecting their fourth league victory of the season and improving on their current position in the standings.
They have accumulated 10 points from six matches, with their three wins balanced by one draw and two losses. A positive result would help them strengthen their position as the campaign continues.
Samsunspor, by contrast, have endured a difficult opening to the season and sit 18th in the table with four points.
Their first six matches have produced one victory, one draw and four defeats, leaving them under pressure to improve their results.
The home side will therefore be looking to take advantage of their own surroundings and secure points, while Trabzonspor arrive seeking to extend their recent run of success.
With Salah back in the squad and Trabzonspor coming off a commanding performance against Galatasaray, the visitors will hope to maintain their progress. The Egyptian forward’s pursuit of an eighth league goal adds another individual objective to the team’s effort to claim all three points.
