It would be a major blow for the Super Lig outfit if Ozyakup were to suffer a long-term injury.

The Super Lig outfit drew to Siofok in their first friendly before beating Gyirmot 4-1.

Besiktas were held to a goalless draw against Shakhtar in the following game and then suffered a 4-1 defeat against CSKA Moscow before being held to a 2-2 draw against Reading.
