Galatasaray team news
Goalkeeper Fernando Muslera is set to be sidelined after dislocating his elbow in the Kasimpasa win, as Gunay Guvenc gets in line for his Champions League debut.
With either of Kazimcan Karatas or Angelino expected to start at left-back, Abdulkerim Bardakci will need to be reassigned to a center-back role, while it's between Tete and Hakim Ziyech to start on the right side.
Karem Akturkohlu, Wilfried Zaha and Mauro Icardi would continue in attack, which means Dries Mertens starts on the bench.
The club hasn't included Halil Dervisoglu in their roster for the Champions League.
