Turkey national team player Salih Özcan said that Orkun Kökçü, who has an injury, played through pain in recent matches and got by on pills and injections ahead of the France match.
The national team will face France tomorrow in Kocaeli in Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League A. Speaking at the press conference, Özcan said they were demoralized after the World Cup and that they 'wanted to turn over a new leaf'.
