Won't play at World Cup
Karazor (undisclosed) has not been included in Turkey's final World Cup squad, the federation announced.
Analysis: Karazor had been expected to be part of coach Vincenzo Montella's plans, making his omission a surprise development. The Stuttgart midfielder ends the campaign with one goal across 28 appearances (22 starts) in what was predominantly a defensive midfield role, and will now focus on pre-season preparations with his club before pushing to force his way back into the national team picture ahead of future competitions.
No longer suspended
Karazor has served his two-match suspension and is no longer suspended.
Analysis: Karazor had been handed the ban by the German Football Association, effectively ending his domestic season prematurely after 28 appearances (22 starts), contributing one goal in what was predominantly a defensive midfield role throughout the campaign. The Turkish international will now shift his focus entirely to the World Cup this summer before returning to Stuttgart ahead of the 2026/27 season, with the club looking forward to having him back in the fold once the tournament concludes.
