Black Eagles goalkeeper Cenk Gönen and midfielder Atiba Hutchinson have also recovered and will be available for the game against Gençlerbirliği.
New signings Alexander Milosevic and Daniel Opare are eligible to play but Slaven Bilic will make a match day decision over their fitness.
Beşiktaş defender Tomas Sivok is also a doubt for the Gençlerbirliği game.
The Black Eagles are currently just one point behind league leaders Fenerbahçe with 35 points from 16 games this season.
Beşiktaş have the best away record in the league, the Black Eagles have secured 21 points on their travels this season. Technically the Istanbul giants have played every match away from home this season as the Inönü stadium is currently being rebuilt.
