Porto vs Besiktas: Probable Lineups – Aboubakar will not face his former club

Besiktas take on Porto in their Champions League Group G opener at the Dragao stadium tonight.

Vincent Aboubakar was the star man on loan at Besiktas last season but he will not be available tonight due to being suspended.

The match will be officiated by English referee Anthony Taylor with Gary Beswick, Adam Nunn, Constantine Hatzidakis, Craig Pawson and Jonathan Mos as his assistants.

Porto will also be without Maxi Pereira due who is suspended.

Besiktas manager Senol Gunes will be sweating over the availability of Medel who will be a game time decision.

Cenk Tosun is expected to get the nod over Negredo upfront after an impressive start to the season.

Several Besiktas players will be familiar with the Portuguese giants. Quaresma is a former Porto player as is Pepe and Anderson Talisca is on loan from Benfica.
