Fenerbahçe is preparing to face Brann away in the 6th week of the Europa League, while injuries, suspensions, and exclusions have narrowed the squad. Head coach Tedesco announced that there will only be 4 players on the bench.
INJURY CRISIS LOOMING
Fenerbahçe will face Norwegian representative Brann on Thursday, December 11. Before the tough away match, a total of 5 players will be unavailable due to injuries.
Edson Alvarez, Nelson Semedo, Marco Asensio, Sebastian Szymanski, and Çağlar Söyüncü will not be able to play in the match due to their injuries. Especially, Szymanski's knee pain has raised concerns among the coaching staff.
3 PLAYERS SUSPENDED
It has been announced that Jhon Duran, İsmail Yüksek, and Fred will not be able to participate in the Brann away match due to their ongoing suspensions in the Europa League. The absence of these three players will significantly weaken the midfield and attack rotation.
EXCLUDED PLAYERS ARE ALSO MISSING
Rodrigo Becao, Cenk Tosun, and İrfan Can Kahveci will also be unable to take the field in Norway due to their exclusion from the squad. The process of Becao's exclusion and İrfan Can's disciplinary situation has further limited Tedesco's options.
TEDESCO: I WILL HAVE 4 PLAYERS ON THE BENCH
Head coach Domenico Tedesco summarized the critical situation of the squad in a press conference before the Brann match, stating, "Asensio is out, Edson has pain. I will have four players on the bench. Szymanski also felt pain in his knee. We need to find the best solution according to the situation we are in." This statement confirmed that Fenerbahçe will enter the match against Brann with a very limited bench.
