Abdülkerim faces expected ban as Galatasaray changes defence
At Galatasaray, Okan Buruk is preparing defensive changes after Abdülkerim Bardakcı was sent off. The player is expected to receive a 5 to 10 match ban over the incidents in the Fenerbahçe match.
Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk is reshaping his defensive plan after Abdülkerim Bardakcı was shown a red card. Buruk plans to use Davinson Sanchez and Wilfried Singo as the central defensive pair initially, for the match against Konyaspor.
Abdülkerim Bardakcı, who clashed with Archie Brown at the end of the Super Lig week 9 match against Fenerbahçe, is expected to receive a 5 to 10 match ban for assault. The player's punishment has not yet been finalised.
Following the derby incidents, Kerem Aktürkoğlu was shown a yellow card and Archie Brown a red card at Fenerbahçe. At Galatasaray, Roland Sallai received a yellow card and Abdülkerim Bardakcı a red card.
Among Buruk's defensive alternatives is moving Ismail Jakobs to the left centre-back position. Mario Lemina, who was previously tried in this area, is also being considered as a centre-back again.
