The Yellow Canaries returned back at Samandıra's Can Bartu Training Grounds on Friday morning, as they kick started preparations for this weekend's Turkcell Süper Lig home fixture against Diyarbakırspor. While Dani Güiza joined his team mates in regular practice, Gökhan Ünal was unable to complete today's training session due to suffering a light injury.

Türkiye's Milli Takım haven't played a match in several months, but the team slipped one spot in the latest FIFA rankings released this week.  While much of the world is gearing up for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the Turks will be announcing upcoming friendlies in the near future to prepare for Euro 2012. 

Andre Santos is enjoying his first season as a Yellow Canary.  After coming over from his native Brazil, he's experienced playing European football, and now his team is dominating the Turkish football landscape as well.  Santos spoke with reporters following Thursday's victory over Bursaspor and talked about his World Cup hopes and more.

Fenerbahçe manager Christoph Daum spoke to the press after his team's 3-0 win over Bursaspor on Thursday night and stated that despite the pleasing victory, due to Uğur Boral's unfortunate injury it was a terrible night. Daum further revealed that his left winger will be absent in the remainder of the season. "Bursaspor will be giving it their all in the second leg," said Daum, stressing that next week's return match will be difficult.
