Ghanaian international Alexander Djiku marked his return to action for Fenerbahce with an impressive performance as they secured a 3-1 away triumph against Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
Djiku, a key figure in defense, commenced the game and showcased his skills for 83 minutes, contributing significantly to Fenerbahce’s victory. This return to action is noteworthy, considering Djiku’s absence from the pitch since his last appearance on October 26 against Ludogorets in the Europa Conference League.
The former Strasbourg captain’s absence spanned seven games for Fenerbahce and included missing the Black Stars’ November international break matches against Madagascar and Comoros.
Djiku’s return is a significant boost, especially with the imminent start of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast next month. It is anticipated that Djiku will play a vital role in the Black Stars’ campaign in the continental tournament.
In the thrilling encounter, Djiku’s compatriot, Daniel Amartey, completed the entire duration for Besiktas, despite succumbing to defeat.
