Turkey Team News:

Thirty-six-year-old forward Umut Bulut will be missing the upcoming matches for Turkey with an injury.
Mehmet Topal and Gokhan Gonul are also out due to injury.
VfB Stuttgart‘s 19-year-old defender Ozan Kabak suffered a broken nose during the training and has been removed from the squad for the upcoming matches.

Here is Turkey’s squad for the upcoming games:

Abdülkadir Parmak, who had a breakthrough season with Trabzonspor and his teammate Abdülkadir Parmak, have both been overlooked for the games.

Possible ins or outs of this game:

Şenol Güneş left Besiktas this summer when the opportunity to manage the national team knocked on his door and has already taken some interesting decisions while naming his first squad.
A total of 9 players have earned their first call-up and will hope to have some precious minutes under their belt.

One of the surprise inclusions is Oğuzhan Özyakup who was never a regular in Besiktas’ 2018-19 campaign under Gunes. The 26-year-old midfielder may make a start here.
Debutants such as Ugurcan Cakir, Nazim Sangare, and Omer Ali all impressed with their clubs and deserved the national call. The upcoming friendlies are a perfect set-up to test their temperament.
Leicester City’s under-used defender Çağlar Söyüncü and Galatasaray’s left-back Emre Taşdemir earned a surprise call despite not featuring frequently for their respective clubs. The manager may give them some minutes here.
Everton’s Cenk Tosun and Real Valladolid’s Enes Ünal are the strike options for the manager and are in contention to start.

AS Roma’s Cengiz Under had an injury-ravaged season and may not be at his 100%. He could start here to improve his match fitness.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu featured predominantly for AC Milan and could be rested here.
Expect both Hasan Ali kaldirim and Ozan Tufan to feature at some point in the match.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Turkey Probable XI: Mert Günok / Gökhan Akkan (GK), M . Z Celik, K. Ayhan, M. Demiral, Hasan Ali Kaldırım, Dorukhan Toköz, Mahmut Tekdemir / Ozan Tufan, Deniz Türüç / Cengiz Under, Hakan Çalhanoğlu / Oğuzhan Özyakup, Cenk Tosun, Burak Yılmaz

Vasilis Torosidis, who also serves as the captain of the national team, is not in the team.
Central defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos will be leading the team. But he won’t be playing against Turkey after playing the full 90 minutes in Arsenal’s Europa League final game against Chelsea.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Greece Probable XI: O. Vlachodimos (GK), Kostas Stafylidis, D. Siovas, Kostas Manolas, L. Koutris, D. Kourbelis, A. Bouchalakis, A. Samaris, M. Bakakis, Zeca, A. Donis, K. Fortounis

Potential Game Changers: Top fantasy picks

Oğuzhan Özyakup
Cengiz Under
Charis Mavrias
Tasos Donis
Ozan Tufan

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:

Though he has not been a regular figure under Marco Silva in Everton’s 2018-19 campaign, the former Besiktas player was not that bad during the season, In his limited came, he still managed four goals and 3 assists.

While for Turkey, he is their talisman, and will no doubt be a threat in the match. We back him to score anytime in this game.

His international stats:

Games: 37
Goals: 13
Minutes: 2,436

Risky Option: We say Cengiz Under.
The Roma playmaker is one of the most talented Turkey players. The 2017-18 season was a breakthrough campaign for him as he made his mark on the world stage. If he starts, expect him to make a difference.

Suggested combination:

Goalkeeper: G Akkan
Defenders: M Demiral, H A Kaldirim, K Stafylidis, K Manolas
Midfielders: O Tufan, C Under, K Fortounis, A Samaris
Forwards: C Tosun (C), A Donis
