Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk is preparing to make significant changes to the squad ahead of the Göztepe match following the defeat against Trabzonspor.
BUTTON PRESSED AFTER TRABZONSPOR DEFEAT
After losing 2-1 to Trabzonspor in the 28th week of the Super League, the yellow-reds have shifted their focus to the away match against Göztepe. It has been reported that Okan Buruk has decided to make serious revisions to the starting eleven before this critical match.
ICARDI IS MOVING TO THE BENCH
The most notable name in the change is Mauro Icardi. The Argentine striker, who fell short of expectations against Trabzonspor, is expected to be benched. It has been stated that Buruk will give Barış Alper Yılmaz a chance in the forward position.
JAKOBS AND LANG ALSO GETTING CUT
It has been learned that another player whose performance has been criticized, Ismail Jakobs, will also be moved to the bench. It is reported that the experienced coach will field Eren Elmalı in this position.
The third name that Okan Buruk will cut is Noa Lang. It is expected that the Dutch player will be replaced by Leroy Sane in the starting eleven. In the absence of the red card suspended Abdülkerim Bardakcı, it has been reported that Singo will take the position in the defense line.
