Ahead of the upcoming Süper Lig match between Fenerbahçe and Göztepe, several key updates have been announced. Göztepe has confirmed that five players will be unavailable for the match due to injuries, suspensions, and illnesses. Anthony Dennis and Furkan Bayır are out due to upper respiratory infections, while Alexis Antunes is still undergoing treatment. Additionally, Heliton and Bokele are suspended and will not participate. Göztepe's coach is expected to deploy a three-defender system with Taha, Allan, and Furkan in defense. Fenerbahçe announced that Edson Alvarez will not be in the squad due to injury. Alvarez played through pain in the previous match against Aston Villa but experienced increased discomfort, leading to his exclusion based on medical advice. Pre-match statements highlight the strategic considerations. Fenerbahçe's coach Domenico Tedesco emphasized the importance of balance and energy management, noting the impact of recent demanding matches. He also provided the starting lineup, including Ederson, Mert, Skriniar, Oosterwolde, Semedo, Guendouzi, İsmail, Asensio, Talisca, Musaba, and Duran. Göztepe's key players, Talisca and Asensio, are expected to be pivotal. Talisca, who scored five goals in the last three league matches, remains a crucial offensive weapon, while Asensio has contributed significantly in recent games. The match is scheduled for January 25, 2026, at 20:00 at Chobani Stadium and will be broadcast live on beIN SPORTS. VAR referee Ömer Faruk Turtay has been appointed for the game. The game is highly anticipated as both teams aim to secure vital points, with Fenerbahçe aiming to continue their pursuit of the top of the league standings and Göztepe striving to maintain their top-four position.
