Galatasaray will face Manchester United in the second match of the UEFA Champions League Group A at Old Trafford tomorrow but will be without Hakim Ziyech.

Ziyech missed the 2-1 win over Ankaragucu over the weekend but was expected to return for the United game.

The attacking midfielder was reportedly rested as a precaution.

However, Ziyech missed the final training session before the trip to the UK as well.

Ziyech will miss the United game and did not travel with the squad.

The former Chelsea man is the only missing player manager Okan Buruk has heading into the clash.

Otherwise he has no injury concerns or suspensions.

Former United man Wilfried Zaha is likely to feature after scoring his first goal for Galatasaray on Saturday.

Tete is likely to start on the wing in the absence of Ziyech.

The Brazilian has actually been in good form and would likely have got the nod even if Ziyech had been fit.

Buruk also have Mertens and Kerem Akturkoglu available.

Galatasaray drew their first match against Copenhagen 2-2, while Manchester United lost their first match against Bayern Munich 4-3.
