The French midfielder Zinedine Zidane says he will not play for Juventus in Turkey if their Champions League game against Galatasaray, postponed because political climate in the country, takes place next week.
"We'll have to wait and see what happens and what new decisions Uefa takes. But I tell you, if things don't get better, I'm not going to Istanbul," Zidane said.
Uefa postponed the Group B fixture in Istanbul on Wednesday for a week because of the diplomatic row between Italy and Turkey over the Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan.
Turkey wants Ocalan extradited to answer charges of treason and murder. Italy has refused this request because of a constitutional ban on extradition to countries, such as Turkey, with the death penalty.
