Omar Elabdellaoui joined the Turkish big club in 2020, from Olympiakos.

He is a qualified player, with many years in the Norwegian national team behind him.

The accident must have occurred around 10 pm local time, on New Year's Eve.

He is said to have injured his hand and eyes, and it is still unclear if there will be permanent injuries.

A picture of his injured face has been circulating on the Internet and the vice president was furious at the person who took the picture.

- That someone in the ambulance takes a picture and shares it on social media ... It's shameful. We as a club will do everything we can to help the family in this difficult time, he says according to the IHA.
