The 27-year-old scored Turkey’s first goal in their 3-0 friendly international win in the Ukraine this week.
Tuncay has not yet kicked a ball for the Boro this summer due to - niggling injuries and a bout of tonsillitis - but just like Michael Owen at Newcastle ... he was perfectly fit to represent his country.
Now that he has proved his match fitness, Tuncay should play at the Liberty Stadium.
