Fenerbahçe continued their preparations for Thursday's Ziraat Turkish Cup Quarter-Final first leg match against Bursaspor with a snowy practice session on Tuesday afternoon. While players celebrated defensive midfielder Selçuk Şahin's birthday at the start of the practice session, injured striker Dani Güiza continued training on his own.

The Yellow Canaries were back on the training ground on Tuesday afternoon, as they resumed preparations for this week's Ziraat Turkish Cup Quarter-Final first leg match against Bursaspor. Despite snowfall which has hit Istanbul once again, the squad practiced for about an hour at Samandıra's Can Bartu Training Grounds.

At the start of today's practice, the Yellow Canaries grouped around Selçuk Şahin and celebrated the defensive midfielder's 29th birthday. As with all the players in the squad, Selçuk was also given his miniature birthday trophy.

Afterwards, the players kicked off the action with jogging and coordination drills. Tuesday's training session then ended with a tactical practice match. Meanwhile, Spanish striker Dani Güiza, who's struggling with his heel injury, trained seperately from the rest of the squad.

Güiza continued his preparations under personal trainer Dolu Arslan's supervision, as he jogged lightly on the sidelines. According to reports in Lig TV and Anadolu Ajansı, Dani Güiza will be unable to play in Thursday's Quarter-Final and that he will try to be ready in time for Sunday's Turkcell Süper Lig fixture with Diyarbakırspor.

Fenerbahçe will be wrapping up their preparations for the upcoming Bursaspor game with a training session at Samandıra's Can Bartu Training Grounds tomorrow evening. The squad will the be camping at the facilities prior to Thursday night's kick-off.
