Absentees and Squad Status

Fenerbahçe: confirmed absentees

The names missing from the 21-man squad announced by the club, with the reasons as reported:

• Ederson — SUSPENDED. Not in the squad. • Mert Günok — INJURED. Not in the squad. • Jayden Oosterwolde — INJURED. Not in the squad. • Çağlar Söyüncü — CARRYING A KNOCK, left out. • Cengiz Ünder — CARRYING A KNOCK, left out. • Romelu Lukaku — NEW SIGNING, not in this squad. • Anthony Musaba and Sidiki Cherif — not in the squad; no reason was specified.

The most concrete consequence is the absence of both senior goalkeepers: only two keepers travelled, and Tarık Çetin is expected to start.

Fenerbahçe: new names in the squad

Nathan Aké and Mason Greenwood are set for their first Süper Lig appearance after featuring in Europe. Vedat Muriqi is also in the squad.

That these are their first league matches is exactly why no statistics appear on this page: they have no Süper Lig sample yet, and presenting a European figure as league form would mislead.

Aké and Greenwood are expected to start; no such expectation was reported for Muriqi.

Gençlerbirliği: squad status

We could not verify a club-issued travelling squad or official absentee list specific to this match for Gençlerbirliği.

Kevin Rodrigues, Muhammet Ensar Çavuşoğlu, Zafer Göktüş Erdem and goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat were reported as summer additions, along with a two-year agreement with Salih Uçan. Henry Onyekuru, M'Baye Niang and loanee goalkeeper Ricardo Velho are among the departures.

Some outlets reported that Peter Etebo and Moussa Kyabou are unavailable through injury; we could NOT confirm this against a match-specific official squad announcement and do not present it here as established fact.

For the same reason we publish no probable XI for this side: we have no verified line-up, and presenting a guess as information would mislead. This page will update itself once the official teamsheet is released.
