Dušan Vlahović suspended following derby incident
Beşiktaş striker Dušan Vlahović has received a one-match suspension from the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) following a physical and verbal altercation with Fenerbahçe defender Milan Škriniar during a recent derby. The disciplinary committee rejected Beşiktaş's appeal to convert the ban into a fine, forcing the Serbian international to watch the match against Erzurumspor from the stands.
Beşiktaş has issued a scathing statement regarding the incident, expressing outrage not only at the suspension but also at the conduct of journalist Tahir Kum. The club accused Kum of acting as a “paid executioner” by publishing the suspension news on social media one hour and 40 minutes before the official announcement reached the club. Beşiktaş claims this premature disclosure caused potential harm to its investors and shareholders, and the club has announced plans to take legal action against the journalist.
