Leão discussed as the answer in Osimhen's absence at Galatasaray
Galatasaray's attack is under scrutiny after the defeat away at Sporting. Reports suggest Rafael Leão is expected to start against Kocaelispor.
Galatasaray returned from Sporting with a 3-1 defeat in the first week of the UEFA Champions League league phase.
In assessments carried by the press it was argued that pushing Barış Alper Yılmaz into a central role in Victor Osimhen's absence reduced the side's effectiveness both out wide and in the attacking third.
The same reports suggest that Rafael Leão, a substitute against Sporting, could start against Kocaelispor.
This information has so far appeared only in the press; there is no official statement from Galatasaray. The squad and starting eleven will be confirmed at kick-off.
FutbolRadar's assessment: Galatasaray host Kocaelispor at 20:00 on Sunday 13 September in matchweek 5 of the Süper Lig.
