The club stated, "Our footballer Mert Müldür had to leave training early today as a result of a blow to his knee during the session." Müldür was immediately taken to Ataşehir Medicana Hospital for an MRI scan. The club's announcement continued, "An MRI scan performed at Ataşehir Medicana Hospital revealed a tear in our player's meniscus and treatment has begun."

This injury disrupts Fenerbahçe's squad plans for the match against Eyüpspor on Sunday, September 20. The team, sitting 11th in the league with 7 points, will have to find cover at right-back. Their recent form reads two wins, two draws, and one loss from the last five matches, including a 0-0 draw with Gaziantep FK on September 14. Facing 17th-placed Eyüpspor, the yellow-navy blues aim to improve their league position. The club is expected to provide further updates on Mert Müldür's treatment process and expected return date in the coming days.
