Gunes has made a few changes to his last team selection by selecting Kerem Aktukoglu, Halil Dervisoglu and Ridvan Yilmaz to the squad for the first time.

All three players are young. Akturkoglu is a 22-year-old winger playing for Galatasaray. Dervisoglu is a 21-year-old Brentford striker on loan at Galatasaray and Yilmaz is a 19-year-old left-back at Besiktas.

Star names in defence including Leicester City centre back Caglar Soyuncu, Juventus ace Merih Demiral, Liverpool youngster Ozan Kabak and Lille right-back Mert Zeki Celik have all been called up.

In midfield, West Brom loanee Okay Yokuslu, Yusuf Yazici who has been on fire for Lille and AC Milan man Hakan Calhanoglu have all got the nod.

Up front, Lille top scorer Burak Yilmaz will lead the way but Cenk Tosun will not make it as he is out injured.
