He missed this weekend’s 3-3 draw at home against Manisaspor, and he will sit out against Iskenderun and Kahramanmaraspor.
Olorundare who has scored a goal for the division two side will return for home tie against Istanbul BB.
The 23 – year – old attacker’s move to Turkey on a season – long loan deal from Sunshine Stars was brokered by Segun Ogunbayo in August and was invited to play as a home-based Super Eagles by coach, Stephen Keshi.
Olorundare wears the number 11 jersey, and his contract keeps him at TKİ Tavşanlı Linyitspor until June 2014.
