Osimhen's absence
The Cim-Bom were one of the favourites for the UEL; however, they risk crashing out in the knockout playoffs after suffering a 4-1 defeat in the first leg at AFAS Stadion.
Okan had to name a much watered-down team for the match, as three of his first team starters were suspended for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards. The players in question? Osimhen, Davinson Sanchez and Lucas Torreira.

What Turhan said
While he criticised Buruk for his inaction, which led to the heavy defeat, Turkish football analyst Turhan understands that the team were handicapped. He believes with the return of the missing players in the second leg, the Turkish champions can overturn the contest.
"The absences were felt a lot,” he said. “You will see that Galatasaray will eliminate AZ Alkmaar and beat Fenerbahçe on its home field. It will sign a great victory both in Europe and in the league.”
