After Victor Osimhen's injury at Galatasaray, head coach Okan Buruk's attacking line plan has become clear. According to reports, Buruk has identified Barış Alper Yılmaz as the primary option for the striker position because he believes the system with Mauro Icardi playing up front negatively affects the team's playing structure. Icardi is planned to be used especially in home matches or in crucial moments when a goal is needed. Noa Lang's health status will be decisive for the vacant position on the wing.

ICARDI WILL BE ON THE FIELD IN CRITICAL MOMENTS
It was expressed that the experienced striker Icardi is planned to be used especially in home matches or in sections where a score is needed.
DECISION ON THE WING DEPENDS ON LANG
If Barış Alper is evaluated as a forward, Noa Lang's health status will be decisive for the vacant wing position. If Lang is unable to play, Yunus Akgün is expected to take the field.
