Galatasaray's Portuguese midfielder Sergio Oliveira was included in the squad for the first time in 12 official matches for the Sparta Prague encounter.
Oliveira, who suffered a pectoral muscle injury during training in mid-December and was sidelined for approximately 2 months, missed 10 matches in the Süper Lig and 2 matches in the Ziraat Turkish Cup. The experienced player was included in the matchday squad for the Sparta Prague game, marking his return after a long absence.
Abdülkerim Bardakcı, who was injured during the Trabzonspor match in the 21st week of the Süper Lig, also returned to the squad after missing 5 official matches, 4 in the league and 1 in the Turkish Cup.
