The Turkish club official stated that foreign outlets fabricated quotes attributed to the Portuguese manager regarding the player's alleged training punctuality issues.

Yeminoglu confirmed that the team maintains excellent internal dynamics during their current preparation period.

The spokesperson stressed that camp conditions remain favorable for player development. Fenerbahçe continues to prepare for its upcoming fixtures with its newly assembled roster.
