In Galatasaray, which will face Kasımpaşa in the 7th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, coach Okan Buruk's plan for the right-back position has become clear due to injuries. Following the missing players in the squad, the experienced player is expected to start in the initial eleven.

Preparations Towards the Kasımpaşa Match

The yellow-red team, having suffered a defeat against Trabzonspor in the 6th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, continues its preparations for the match where it will host Kasımpaşa at home after the international break.

The Galatasaray team aims to bounce back in the league with this crucial match and secure a victory in front of its fans.

Injuries and the Right-Back Search

Roland Sallai, who got injured during the match away in the Black Sea region, will leave his team alone and will not be able to play in the Kasımpaşa match.

Additionally, information circulates behind the scenes that Wilfried Singo will also remain away from the team for some time.

Okan Buruk's Kaan Ayhan Preference

Following the injury problems experienced, it was reported that coach Okan Buruk has made his decision for the right-back position and plans to assign Kaan Ayhan in the starting eleven against Kasımpaşa.

The 31-year-old footballer, who is not included in the UEFA Champions League squad, has stayed on the field for only 1 minute under the yellow-red jersey this season.

Friendly Match and Expectation

Serving for 90 minutes at right-back in the friendly match played against Pendikspor during the international break, the experienced defender had brought the draw to his team by scoring from a penalty in the 88th minute of the match that ended 3-3.

Having talked with coach Okan Buruk to find a chance to play, the experienced player aims to evaluate this opportunity he will get in the Kasımpaşa match and solidify his place in the rotation.
