Centre-back decision uncertain at Fenerbahçe

Fenerbahçe's centre-back position remains uncertain ahead of the big derby. Head coach İsmail Kartal has not yet decided who will partner Skriniar in the defensive line.

Among the names mentioned around the club are Kojo Oppong, Mert Müldür and Archie Brown. All three are being assessed during training, and the final decision appears likely to depend on their performance in training sessions.

Defensive organisation for the derby week will be set according to a plan prepared against the movements of the opposing attacking players. The coaching staff's choice at centre-back is expected to become clear with the team announcement, which is due before match day.
