Marco Asensio and Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who have injuries at Fenerbahçe, are not expected to play against Lyon. It was reported that İsmail Kartal plans to play Nene instead of Kerem and Talisca instead of Asensio in the critical rematch.
In Fenerbahce, before the Champions League play-off round second leg against Lyon, the injuries of Marco Asensio and Kerem Akturkoglu changed the plans. The starting eleven that coach Ismail Kartal will field in the absence of the two stars has largely become clear.
ASENSIO AND KEREM OUT
In the yellow-navy blue team, the injuries of Asensio and Kerem Akturkoglu ahead of the critical Lyon match dampened morale. Ismail Kartal is preparing to make changes to the starting eleven in the absence of the two players.
SHIRTS FOR NENE AND TALISCA
According to TRT Sport's report, Ismail Kartal plans to give a shirt to Nene in place of Kerem Akturkoglu and to Talisca in place of Marco Asensio.
Kartal's probable eleven against Lyon is as follows:
Ederson, Semedo, Skriniar, Ake, Archie Brown, Guendouzi, Kante, Ismail Yuksek, Nene, Greenwood, Talisca.
17-YEAR LONGING MAY END
The first match between Lyon and Fenerbahce ended 1-1 in Kadikoy. The second leg will be played on Wednesday, August 26, at 22:00 Turkish time. If Fenerbahce eliminates Lyon, they will earn the right to compete in the Champions League after 17 years.
