Team News and Injury Latest
Eyüpspor are still without Moroccan centre-back Jawad El Yamiq, who is continuing his recovery from injury and will not be available for selection. The former Valladolid defender is a proven Süper Lig operator and his absence leaves a considerable gap in the hosts’ backline, forcing head coach Uğur Pulat to reshuffle a defence that was breached once in stoppage time last weekend.
Gaziantep FK have not reported any fresh concerns following their opening-day draw, though their medical and coaching staff will be monitoring fatigue levels after a physically demanding first outing played in stifling late-summer heat. Manager Selçuk İnan is expected to have the bulk of his squad at his disposal as they chase a first win of the season.
