Eczacibasi sign Aksoy so she can recover under the club's roof
Eczacibasi announced on Friday (30/10) the signing of Karmen Aksoy, who arrives to recover rather than to play. The 22-year-old middle blocker tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee at the Nations League in June, and the layoff could reach nine months after THY terminated her contract.

Karmen Aksoy agora é do Eczacibasi. O anúncio da contratação saiu nesta sexta-feira (30/10), depois de uma postagem nas redes sociais, com uma particularidade: a meio de rede não chega para jogar, e sim para se recuperar.
Aos 22 anos, a turca rompeu o ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho direito na última Liga das Nações, em junho, ao pisar no pé de Melissa Vargas numa tentativa de bloqueio contra a Bélgica, ainda no primeiro set. Dias depois veio a cirurgia, e a gravidade pode custar até nove meses de afastamento.
Durante a recuperação, o THY rescindiu o contrato — segundo a imprensa local, de maneira unilateral e sem multa. Cirurgia e reabilitação correm por conta da Federação Turca.
“Bem-vindo à selva, Karmen. Após a infeliz lesão sofrida durante o período na seleção nacional, recebemos Karmen Aksoy entre nós. Desejamos que ela passe o processo de recuperação sob o nosso teto do clube da melhor forma possível e que retorne às quadras com saúde”, publicou o Eczacibasi.
Foi a segunda lesão desse tipo na carreira da central. Em 2022 ela passou pela mesma cirurgia e perdeu a temporada inteira com a seleção turca.
