Galatasaray medico: Zaha sacrifices for Palace have taken toll on his body

Galatasaray new signing Wilfried Zaha is struggling for fitness due to his previous club.

That is the view of the Turkish club's doctor, who spoke about the circumstances surrounding Zaha's fitness.

The 30-year-old is not fully fit because he had to save Crystal Palace from relegation last season.

That is the view of Yener Ince, who works for Galatasaray as part of their medical staff.

“Zaha had very long and recurring muscle injuries last season," he said, per the Evening Standard.

“He had to take [to] the field so that the team were not [to] be relegated.

“The sacrifices he made for his previous team have worn out the player."
