Galatasaray started the season with an unexpected point loss, drawing 2-2 at home against Çorum FK in the opening week of the Süper Lig, and head coach Okan Buruk has taken action.

LINEUP CHANGING

The experienced coach, dissatisfied with the performance displayed and the result obtained, has decided to make radical changes to the squad ahead of the second week's match against Erzurumspor FK.

LEROY SANE TO THE BENCH

World-famous star Leroy Sane, who fell well below expectations in the Çorum FK match, did not receive a passing grade from the technical staff for his performance. It has been learned that Okan Buruk plans to pull the German player to the bench against Erzurumspor FK due to his out-of-form appearance in the first week. It is noted that Okan Buruk aims to increase the team's offensive reaction by putting a more dynamic and high-fighting winger in the starting eleven in Sane's place.
