Team news & squads
Galatasaray team news
The home side will be without their regular shot-stopper Fernando Muslera, following his red card in late August during a Champions League qualifier against Young Boys for kicking an opponent.
Meanwhile, left-back Ismail Jakobs had to leave the pitch due to injury in Saturday's clash against Antalyaspor, likely paving the way for Berkan Kutlu to step into the starting lineup.
Gunay Guvenc is expected to take charge in goal, with Davinson Sanchez and Abdulkerim Bardakci forming the central defensive partnership.
Up front, Dries Mertens could slot into an attacking midfield role, playing just behind Victor Osimhen, who may replace Mauro Icardi as the leading striker.
