Kazımcan Karataş, who is in the starting eleven against Gençlerbirliği, will take the field in a Galatasaray jersey after 655 days.

In the 13th week of the Super League, Galatasaray will host Gençlerbirliği at home. Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk made two surprising choices in the starting 11 for this match.

ON THE FIELD AFTER 655 DAYS

Okan Buruk gave the left-back position to Kazımcan Karataş instead of Eren Elmalı, who is suspended, and Ismail Jakobs, who is reported to have pain. The 22-year-old player, who last played in the starting 11 on January 11, 2024, will return to the field after 655 days.

ROTATION IN GOAL

Additionally, Okan Buruk made a surprising choice in goal by putting national goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır on the bench. Günay Güvenç will guard the goal for the yellow-reds.
