Team news :
After being kicked out of the team last week by manager Gunes, Dele Alli is unlikely to play for Besiktas again this season. Because Gunes was dissatisfied with Alli’s performance in the last two games and he was not included in the matchday squad, the club will not attempt to make Alli’s loan move from Everton permanent.
He may have fallen even further behind when Alexandru Maxim from Gaziantep showed up. Before being permitted to leave on loan following his parent club’s withdrawal from the league last month, the Romanian scored 40 goals in three years at the club.
Wellington is accessible for choice again in the wake of serving a suspension against Basaksehir, while Rachid Ghezzal is the main injury truant for Besiktas here. Okan Erdogan will miss Istanbulspor’s match against Sivasspor because he received his fourth caution of the season.
In Erdogan’s place, Ivorian Simon Deli, who recently joined from Adana Demirspor, may make his debut at center back. Aside from that, there are no known injury concerns at this time, so Tekke will have a full squad to choose from.
