Sven Mislintat strengthens Atakan Karazor’s back

Sports director Sven Mislintat from Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart has backed VfB professional Atakan Karazor, who has been released from custody.

“This is a person who has not even been charged. Ata can now take the time he needs to let the whole thing sink in. In a few days he will show up here and do a proper rehabilitation training. Then we’ll see , where he stands”, is Mislintat in the table football quoted.

Karazor (25) was arrested six weeks ago for a possible crime while on vacation in Ibiza. Since then he has been in custody. He was released on bail on Thursday.

“If there were an indictment, you would have to look at that,” Mislintat continued. But as long as this is not the case, the defender is “clearly our player and a full member of the team”.

Born in Essen, Karazor has been under contract with VfB since July 2019. Last season he made 25 competitive appearances for the Swabians. In May, both sides extended the contract until 2026.
