Altay hit by six absences for Izmir derby vs Karşıyaka
Altay go into Saturday's Izmir derby against Karşıyaka at Alsancak Mustafa Denizli Stadium without six players. Defenders Sefa and Yunus Efe were left out of the squad after joining training late, while goalkeeper Semih and striker Ünal are still in treatment and Murat and Salih are suspended.
What it means
- Sefa and Yunus Efe missed the Denizli İdmanyurdu squad after arriving late to training; their derby inclusion is up to coach Tuna Üzümcü
- Goalkeeper Semih and forward Ünal remain in treatment and will not play
- Murat and Salih are suspended; Deniz has only just been licensed and has not joined the team
Model read
Altay are notably weakened for the derby, with both first-choice centre-backs, the goalkeeper and a striker unavailable, leaving a very young squad (20.4 average age) exposed against a Karşıyaka side rated among the group favourites.
