Which players are missing against Amedspor?
The list of unavailable players is significant. Defender Folcarelli, midfielders Batagov, Okay Yokuşlu, and Ruslan Malinovskyi are all out due to injuries. Furthermore, Benjamin Bouchouari and Rene Mitongo were given permission to engage in transfer negotiations and did not travel with the squad to Diyarbakır. These absences will heavily impact Tekke's tactical options. Current injury updates are available on our injuries page.
The manager is working to get the best from the remaining available players despite these setbacks. The match will kick off at 21:30 at Diyarbakır Stadium, with Atilla Karaoğlan appointed as the referee. Amedspor, meanwhile, aims to secure their second Süper Lig victory by defeating Trabzonspor.

What is Trabzonspor's position in the league?

| Galatasaray | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1 | +4 | 6 |
