Update on Barış Alper Yılmaz at Galatasaray: Will he be able to play in the Fenerbahçe derby?

At Galatasaray, the situation of Barış Alper Yılmaz is being closely monitored ahead of the Fenerbahçe derby. The national footballer, who felt pain in his Achilles tendon during the Lille match, participated in yesterday's training session, which was considered a positive development by the technical staff.

The fact that Barış Alper, whose pain had increased after the match, was able to train has increased the likelihood of him playing in the derby. However, it was stated that a final decision regarding whether the player will be included in the match squad has not yet been made.

It is stated that head coach Okan Buruk plans to maintain the attacking formation used in the Lille match if Barış Alper Yılmaz is ready. In this scenario, Barış Alper is expected to feature alongside Aleksey Batrakov, Yunus Akgün, and Victor Osimhen.

The Süper Lig derby, in which Galatasaray will host Fenerbahçe, will begin on Monday, October 26, at 21:30.
