Ahead of the critical Lyon match at Fenerbahçe, Ederson's situation has become clear. Head coach İsmail Kartal announced that the Brazilian goalkeeper is fit to play and will be included in the squad for the match. The question marks that arose after Tarık Çetin, who guarded the goal in place of Ederson in the Gençlerbirliği match, conceded 2 goals, have now been replaced by confidence with this news.
Because of his suspension, Tarik Cetin guarded the goal in place of Ederson, who was unable to play in the Trendyol Super League match against Genclerbirligi.
IN THE SQUAD FOR THE BIG MATCH
After the match in which Fenerbahce conceded 2 goals, Tarik Cetin's performance raised questions about the goalkeeper among some of the yellow-navy fans ahead of the critical Lyon match. For this reason, whether Ederson could play in the UEFA Champions League play-off round match against Lyon became a matter of curiosity.
ISMAIL KARTAL GAVE THE GOOD NEWS
Answering the question about Ederson's condition at the press conference held at Can Bartu Facilities, Ismail Kartal announced that the Brazilian goalkeeper would be in the squad. Kartal said, "Ederson will be in the squad tomorrow. He is currently fit to play."
The fact that Ederson is able to return to the goal in such a critical match as Lyon also gave confidence to the Fenerbahce fans, who had questions about the goalkeeper after the Genclerbirligi match.
