Return to Fitness

The 18-year-old has been training for two months now and should be match fit for the upcoming season.

Konak was seen as a promising addition to Brentford’s midfield, and his return to fitness will be a boost for the team’s long-term prospects.

Fans’ Reaction

Fans were quick to express their delight on social media, with many posting messages of support and encouragement for Konak.

Konak rose through the ranks at Sivasspor, breaking into the first team before being snapped up by Brentford.

The young midfielder was on course to be fast tracked to the senior Turkish national team before picking up an injury. He has represented Turkey already at U21 level.
