Jikiya's return to Antalyaspor squad is expected

Former Russian national team player Fyodor Kudryashov shared his thoughts on Georgiy Jikiya's football career in Turkey. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to euro-football.ru, Kudryashov regularly monitors the condition of Jikiya, who is the central defender of Antalyaspor.

It is known that the 32-year-old footballer has recently been without match practice. His agent also confirmed this situation, stating that the team's head coach believes Jikiya has not yet reached his best physical condition.

Fyodor Kudryashov expressed his desire for Jikiya to return to Antalyaspor's main squad as soon as possible. He said: “I always follow his games.

I really want him to return to the main squad soon. The last time we spoke was when he was transferring to the club; currently, we have no contact,” he shared his thoughts.

Jikiya's tenure with Antalyaspor began in the summer of 2025. In the current season, he has appeared in 13 matches for the team and managed to score 2 goals.
