Beşiktaş's head coach Sergen Yalçın made a surprising decision regarding the starting eleven before the derby match. Sergen Yalçın has decided to bench Tammy Abraham and will assign El Bilal Toure to play in the forward position instead.

Beşiktaş Technical Director Sergen Yalçın conducted a surprise squad trial during training ahead of the Fenerbahçe derby to be played on Sunday.

ABRAHAM WILL BE BENCHED

According to a report in Takvim; Beşiktaş's technical director Sergen Yalçın will have English striker Tammy Abraham sitting on the bench for the derby. It was noted that Sergen Yalçın evaluated Abraham as not being active enough on the field and stated that he could "get lost between Skriniar and Jayden."

EL BILAL TOURE INSTEAD OF ABRAHAM

In this context, it was mentioned that Cengiz Ünder and Vaclav Cerny would take positions on the wings, and Rafa Silva would be on the field as an attacking midfielder, while El Bilal Toure would wear the jersey in the forward position instead of Abraham.
