Ferdi Kadioglu - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Dealing with minor issue Kadioglu (undisclosed) missed Sunday's match against Aston Villa due to a minor issue, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per AA Sports. "After the match against Tromso, he had a...

Impact Kadioglu picked up the issue following the match against Tromso, but the injury is not considered serious and he could return in the coming days. The defender's absence should therefore be relatively brief, with his status worth monitoring ahead of Thursday's second leg against Tromso. Maxim De Cuyper is expected to start on the left flank if Kadioglu remains sidelined.

Absent for opener, reason unclear Kadioglu was left out of Brighton's squad for Saturday's match against Aston Villa for reasons that remain unknown at this stage.

Impact Kadioglu's absence leaves a gap at left back, and there's currently no clarity on whether it stems from injury, fitness management, or something else entirely. Maxim De Cuyper and Lewis Dunk started on the left flank in his place. More details on the situation are expected to emerge in the coming days.

Back training with Seagulls Kadioglu is back in training with Brighton during preseason, according to the club.

Impact Kadioglu had a decent 2025/26 campaign, making 37 Premier League appearances (34 starts) and playing 3,135 minutes while scoring one goal, performances that earned him Brighton's Men's Player of the Season award and made him one of the league's most reliable defenders across multiple positions. He capped that off with a productive World Cup run for Turkey, leading the team in chances created before the country's group stage exit. With his return to Brighton training, Kadioglu now shifts his focus to building on that breakout season, and his versatility across the back line and midfield should keep him as one of coach Fabian Hurzeler's most trusted options heading into the new campaign.

Balanced display in defeat Kadioglu recorded one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Friday's 1-0 loss versus Paraguay.

Impact Kadioglu delivered a well-rounded display on both sides of the ball, contributing two tackles, one interception and one clearance defensively while remaining one of Turkey's most dangerous outlets going forward. Alongside Kenan Yildiz he led the team in chances created with four, taking his tournament tally to nine across two games. Up next is the final game against the United States, and with Turkey eliminated, it remains to be seen whether coach Vincenzo Montella will give opportunities to players who haven't had much playing time, or aim to finish in the best way possible, with Eren Elmali as possible replacement.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Three crosses in loss Kadioglu registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and five chances created in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Australia.

Impact Kadioglu fired Turkiye's most dangerous chance from open play in the first half with a long-range effort in the 19th minute that missed the target, but his influence faded as Australia settled into the match and grew more confident. He logged the full 90 minutes, further confirming he is fully fit again for Turkiye, though he struggled to build chemistry with Kerem Akturkoglu and Arda Guler in the final third. Coming off a strong campaign with Brighton and entering the World Cup as one of Turkiye's most well-rounded players, Kadioglu will be expected to raise his level over the next two group-stage matches.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to full training Kadioglu (undisclosed) has returned to full training Monday with the Turkiye squad and will be an option for their World Cup opener against Australia on June 13, according to AA Sp...

Impact Kadioglu had missed Saturday's friendly against Venezuela while his fitness was being monitored, but his return to collective sessions is a clean bill of health heading into the tournament. Coach Vincenzo Montella will now have his preferred left-back option available when Turkey's World Cup campaign gets underway.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

Misses final friendly Kadioglu (undisclosed) was not on the team sheet for Saturday's 2-1 win over Venezuela.

Impact Kadioglu was not with his teammates Saturday as Turkiye played their final friendly ahead of the World Cup, with the defender still not fit from an undisclosed injury. This is a major concern for the team as they head into the tournament, as he was set to start at left-back. However, they may just be taking a cautious route and not risking him, potentially still an option for the opener.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Targeting return against Venezuela Kadioglu (undisclosed) could also feature against Venezuela as the coaching staff work to have the left-back available in time for Turkey's World Cup opener on June 14, according t...

Impact Kadioglu had been carrying some discomfort that was being monitored by the national team medical staff, and coach Montella's update suggests the situation is improving sufficiently to consider him for minutes against Venezuela. Turkey will be hoping to have their first-choice left-back fully available when the World Cup gets underway.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Discomfort being monitored Kadioglu (undisclosed) is reportedly dealing with some discomfort, with the Turkish national team coaching staff keeping a close eye on his condition, according to coach Vincenzo M...

Impact Kadioglu's situation will be assessed over the coming days before any further clarity emerges on his availability for Turkey's pre-tournament preparations. The left-back is an important figure in Turkey's defensive setup and the coaching staff will be hoping the discomfort proves minor enough to have him fully available when the World Cup gets underway.

JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet to end campaign Kadioglu had one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Kadioglu ended the season with a whimper, scoring only one goal during his season season in England despite playing a huge role. The left-back made 37 appearances and stopped 3,100 minutes, but created only 21 chances. Coming to the side, Kadioglu was expected to be an offensive threat consistently, and that never really materialized in his first full healthy campaign.

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Scores opener in victory Kadioglu scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus Chelsea.

Impact Kadioglu wasted no time putting Brighton in front, striking in the third minute as he capitalized on Chelsea's failed corner clearance and rifled a first-time finish from the edge of the six-yard box to set the tone for a dominant night at the Amex. He was a constant threat down the left side, winning three duels and matching a season high with three interceptions over the full 90 minutes. The Turkish defender also showed real attacking intent with three shots (all on target), marking a season high and notching his first Premier League goal of the campaign.

Poor in service Kadioglu registered six crosses (zero accurate) and three clearances in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.

Impact Kadioglu didn't have a single accurate cross on the day and he didn't contribute much else offensively. He should be able to rectify that against Sunderland, a team which started well defensively but has given up nine goals over its last five EPL games.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Five crosses in 2-0 win Kadioglu generated five crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Burnley.

Impact Kadioglu attempted five crosses and completed three. He is also only one set-piece behind being the top set-piece taker for Brighton this season. He created three chances but was unable to start his tally of goal involvements this season.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Eight crosses in draw Kadioglu generated two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Tuesday's 2-2 draw versus West Ham United.

Impact Kadioglu set a season high with his eight crosses in the match, while this was the sixth time this season that he sent at least five. His three chances created also marked a season high, and he is up to six over the last four games. Additionally, his shot on target was his first in six appearances.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in loss Kadioglu recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Kadioglu was busy going forward, as he usually is, but couldn't find any end product during Saturday's loss. The winger has shown plenty of potential going forward as a creator and finisher, but it was a tough day for Brighton throughout. Kadioglu should have more upside against lesser teams in the league, especially if he maintains a role further up the pitch.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting XI Kadioglu started three straight matches for Brighton for the first time since last November, confirming he is back to full fitness.

Impact Kadioglu began the season as a substitute as he needed to regain competitive fitness after a long spell out with a toe injury. The left-back has now fully recovered and started the last three matches for the Seagulls, completing 90 minutes in two of them. Kadioglu has been solid defensively with nine tackles and 14 clearances in the last four games.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays in closed door friendly Kadioglu (toe) appeared in a friendly for 27 minutes against Coventry City.

Impact Kadioglu made his way back to the field despite reports of the defender facing a longer absence, as he would appear as a substitute in a preseason friendly. This is good news for the defender, but it is now unknown what role he will hold with the team, possibly relegated to a lesser role after missing most of last season with an injury.

JULY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return from injury Kadioglu (toe) is nearing a return from his long-term injury but is not part of the squad for the training camp in Spain, according to The Athletic.

Impact Kadioglu has been recovering and rehabbing since November after suffering a toe injury that kept him out for almost all of the 2024/25 season. The Turkish defender is nearing a return and could be fit for the start of the Premier League if everything evolves positively. That said, if fully back fit, Kadioglu could play some role for the Seagulls heading into the 2025/26 season.

JULY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reports to training Kadioglu (toe) was involved in training Monday, according to his club.

Impact Kadioglu has returned to Brighton and looks to be starting his pre-season training Monday, a good sign for the defender who ended his season with a toe injury. He will now look ahead and continue to train for the beginning of the season. He will have to work back into any role he may hold with the team next season, as he only appeared six times the entire campaign due to his consistent injuries.

JULY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Situation doesn't improve Kadioglu (toe) isn't improving in his recovery, coach Fabian Hurzeler confirmed in the press conference. "The light [at the end of the tunnel] doesn't get lighter, the light is sti...

Impact Kadioglu is struggling to return from his long-term toe injury, which is slowly reducing his chances of coming back before the end of the season as the coach appeared quite not optimistic. That said, the left-back spot has good depth, and Pervis Estupinan is holding down the position at the moment.

APRIL 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Continues recovery indoor Kadioglu (toe) is progressing well in his recovery and was spotted doing indoor exercises, the club posted.

Impact Kadioglu has been out since early November with a toe injury but has been making progress in his recovery. He recently did indoor exercises and could return after the international break or at least before the end of April. Pervis Estupinan and Tariq Lamptey have filled in at left-back during his absence.
