3 changes from İsmail Kartal ahead of Konyaspor match

Fenerbahçe, preparing for the Konyaspor match in the Trendyol Süper Lig, is expected to make changes to its starting 11 under manager İsmail Kartal. Following the Lyon match, the focus for the yellow-navy team has shifted to the upcoming league encounter.

According to a report by Fanatik, Kartal plans to bench three players who started in the Lyon match. Vedat Muriqi, Kerem Aktürkoğlu, and Archie Brown are expected to be used as impact substitutes in the Konyaspor game.

It is suggested that Marco Asensio, Nene, and Levent Mercan will take their places in the starting 11. The decision to start Asensio, in particular, is noted as significant regarding Fenerbahçe's attacking strategy.

Fenerbahçe lost 2-1 away to Gençlerbirliği in the first week of the Süper Lig. The yellow-navy team aims to regain both its rhythm and its momentum in the league with the Konyaspor match.

On the other hand, it was reported that a gradual plan is in place for Romelu Lukaku, who played for approximately 10 minutes in the Lyon match.

It was stated that the Belgian striker could remain on the pitch for 20-30 minutes depending on the flow of the match.
