Galatasaray will face German representative Bayern Munich away on Wednesday, November 8, in the 4th week of the UEFA Champions League Group A.
The match, which will be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, will start at 23.00 GMT.
The yellow-red team had a win, a draw and a defeat in the 3 matches they played in Group A, which included Bayern Munich, England’s Manchester United and Denmark’s Copenhagen teams.
Galatasaray, which drew 2-2 despite falling behind 2-0 at home against Copenhagen in its first match, defeated Manchester United 3-2 away in the second week. Galatasaray, which lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich, which it hosted in the third week, despite having a good performance, is in second place with 4 points.
The Bavarian representative is sitting in the leadership seat after winning all of its first 3 matches.
In the other match of the group, Copenhagen will host Manchester United at the same time.
MUSLERA’S SITUATION IS UNCERTAIN
It remains unclear whether Galatasaray’s experienced goalkeeper Fernando Muslera will play in tomorrow’s match.
The condition of the Uruguayan goalkeeper, who suffered a dislocation in his left elbow joint after the blow he received in the Kasımpaşa match in the 11th week of the Trendyol Super League and whose treatment is ongoing, will be determined after the training to be held today. If Muslera cannot play, Günay Güvenç will guard the goal.
Tanguy Ndombele, who did not play in the last 2 Super League matches for the yellow-reds due to his injury, is participating in the training with the team. It will be clear after the last training whether the French midfielder will be in the team or not.
Mauro Icardi, who continues his struggle with injection treatment despite his injury, will also be able to play against Bayern Munich.
In addition, Sergio Oliveira, who had 2 yellow cards in the group matches, will be suspended if he receives a yellow card in tomorrow’s match.
IMPORTANT MISSING IN THE GERMAN TEAM
Three players from the Bavarian team will not be able to play against Galatasaray due to their injuries.
Bayern Munich’s centre-backs Matthijs de Ligt and Tarek Buchmann and left-back Raphael Guerreiro will not be able to play in tomorrow’s match due to their injuries.
