Turkey will have Larkin – Mahmutoglou in both games against Greece
According to Turkish media, Sein Larkin and Meli Mahmutoglu are set to reinforce Turkey national team in both games against Greece national team in 2023 World Cup qualifiers. Except for Barcelona’s Sertak Sanli.
Anadolu Efes’ Sain Larkin, Bugrahan Tuncer and Erten Gassi and Fenerbahce’s Meli Mahmutoglu and Betekan Birsen will normally reinforce Turkey in both matches against Ethniki Elladas (25/2 in Ano Liosia) for the 2023 World Cup qualifiers, but the same is not true from Barcelona Center Sertak Sanli.
This is reported by Turkish media, which revealed that the two teams that represent Turkey in the EuroLeague usually hand over their players. The only Turkey international out of the two Turkish sides who will not strengthen Turkey is Fenerbahce’s Semus Hazer.
In fact, according to the same reports, Larkin is the only one who will be… working overtime. The star of Anadolu Efes is usually in the preparation of the Turkish national team for the games against Greece. But on Thursday he will be in Israel to reinforce Anadolu Efes for the game against Maccabi on the 27th day of the EuroLeague, and then he will come to our country for the game against Turkey. The other four international Turks of Efes and Fener will usually be involved in any preparations for World Cup qualifiers with Turkey.
It is recalled that the national team of Greece – which has already met for the first time – is expected to have in its mission for both games with Turkey the top internationals from Olympiacos and Panathinaikos. Barcelona’s Nick Kalathis, who was pre-selected anyway because his Blaugrana team-mate Sertak λίanl. was pre-selected by Turkey, doesn’t appear to belong to him.
