Turkey take on Ireland at the Antalya Stadium on Friday in the first of their international friendly games.

The Crescent-Stars missed out on the 2018 World Cup so this game will be a chance for Mircea Lucescu to go back to the drawing board.

Everton star Cenk Tosun is likely to start after a brilliant few weeks in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old has four goals in his last three games for the Toffees and was a first-team regular even before joining his new club in January.

Tosun could be up against a familiar face in Seamus Coleman if he does start, the Everton teammates could end up going head to head.

Turkey have a few injury concerns heading into the tie as Oguzhan Ozyakup, Omer Toprak and Roma sensation Cengiz Under have been ruled out with injury.

Lucescu has picked a youthful side and we are likely to see 21-year-old attacking midfielder Yusuf Yazici, 21-year-old Freiburg centre-back Caglar Soyuncu and 20-year-old Villarreal striker Enes Unal at some stage.

In form AC Milan playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu is also likely to feature.

The Romanian manager will take charge of his seventh game tonight, he has four draws, one win and a defeat to his name thus far.
