Beşiktaş will host TÜMOSAN Konyaspor tomorrow in the 26th week of the Süper Lig.

The match, which will be played at Tüpraş Stadium, will start at 20:00. Referee Tugay Kaan Numanoğlu will officiate the match.

In the 25 matches played in the Süper Lig, Beşiktaş has recorded 12 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses, placing them in 4th place with 40 points and goal difference.

Konyaspor, having won 5 of their matches, drawn 10, and lost 10, entered the week in 19th place with 25 points.

Beşiktaş won the match played between the two teams in Konya during the first half of the league 2-0.

5 MISSING PLAYERS

Five players from the black-and-white team will be unable to play against Konyaspor due to injuries.

In addition to Amir Hadziahmetovic, whose contract has been frozen, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, Tayfur Bingöl, Yakup Arda Kılıç, and Mustafa Erhan Hekimoğlu will not be in the squad.

MASUAKU RETURNS

Beşiktaş's Democratic Congolese footballer Arthur Masuaku will return to the pitch in the black-and-white jersey after a long absence.

Masuaku, who last played in the match against Atakaş Hatayspor in the 18th week of the Süper Lig, had been unable to take the field in the last 10 official matches of the black-and-white team due to his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations with his national team.

4 PLAYERS RECOVERED

Salih Uçan, Jonas Svensson, Rachid Ghezzal, and Milot Rashica, who have recovered from their injuries, will be available for the squad.

The four players will be able to play in the match against Konyaspor if head coach Fernando Santos gives them the task.

WILL ABOUBAKAR PLAY?

Beşiktaş's Cameroonian footballer Vincent Aboubakar may return to his jersey after approximately 2.5 months.

The 32-year-old striker, who last appeared in the derby against Fenerbahçe on December 9, 2023, had been unable to play in the last 13 matches of the black-and-whites in all competitions due to being excluded from the squad, participating in the Africa Cup of Nations, and his injury.

Aboubakar, who has recovered from his injury and has been training with the team for a while, is expected to play against Konyaspor if head coach Santos gives him a chance.
