Kartal Finalizes Starting XI for the Derby
Fenerbahçe coach İsmail Kartal is trying to set his starting XI ahead of the trip to Galatasaray. He is reportedly still undecided in three positions.
Fenerbahçe, who visit Galatasaray in Week 9 of the Süper Lig, are pushing ahead with their derby preparations. Head coach İsmail Kartal is trying to settle his starting XI for the match.
Kartal's biggest question is up front. Unable to decide between Muriç and Lukaku, the coach may also consider Greenwood in the No. 10 role. In this scenario, Oğuz would play on the right wing and Kerem Aktürkoğlu on the left. In the alternative plan, İrfan Can Kahveci would play at No. 10, Greenwood would move to the right, and Oğuz would be on the left.
Due to Ake's injury, two candidates stand out for the left centre-back spot. A choice will be made between Archie Brown and Oppong. If Archie plays alongside Skriniar, Levent Mercan will take the left-back position. If Oppong starts, Archie will operate at left-back.
Kartal, who trusts the Kante and Guendouzi partnership in central midfield, is expected to pick Semedo at right-back. The team's final training sessions will be decisive in finalising these choices.
