Fenerbahçe's opponent this evening in the UEFA Europa Conference League, Union Saint-Gilloise, has suffered significant injuries in its defensive line.
In the Belgian team, which plays with a three-man defense and has 5 center-backs in its squad, 2 players will be unable to play in the match due to injuries.
Saint-Gilloise's Argentine center-back Kevin Mac Allister was substituted in the 20th minute of the cup match played against Club Brugge on February 28 due to a knee injury.
Mac Allister, who could not play in the league match against Oud-Heverlee Leuven over the weekend, is also not expected to play against Fenerbahçe.
Belgian center-back Fedde Leysen will also be unavailable for the squad due to a long-term shoulder injury.
It is noted that head coach Blessin is expected to form his defense with the trio of Ross Sykes, Christian Burgess, and Koki Machida.
There will be no backup players for the center-back position on the Union Saint-Gilloise bench.
AMOURA ON THE VERGE OF SUSPENSION
At Union SG, Burgess is on the verge of a yellow card suspension. If the English center-back receives a yellow card this evening, he will be unable to play in the return leg. Another player on the verge of suspension for the Belgian team is the team's star, Mohamed Amoura. If Amoura receives a yellow card in this match, he will not be available for the return leg.
