UCL – Galatasaray vs Schalke Confirmed Lineups: Stoke City Loanee Badou Ndiaye Returns

Galatasaray take on Schalke in the Champions League at the Turk Telekom Arena on Match Day 3 on Wednesday.

A victory would move the Lions ahead of the Bundesliga outfit in Group D into first place.

Head coach Fatih Terim is however, facing something of an injury crisis with Henry Onyekuru, Sofiane Feghouli and Fernando all sidelined.

Stoke City loanee Badou Ndiaye will return after being suspended for the Match Day 2 defeat away to Porto.

Ndiaye starts in central midfield alongside Ryan Donk with Younes Belhanda playing an attacking role in the middle.

Terim has given Eren Derdiyok the nod up front.

Sinan Gumus will start out wide with Garry Rodrigues on the other flank to complete the three man attack.

The big surprise is 18-year-old Ozan Kabak starting in defender alongside Maicon as the centre-back pairing.

Nagatomo and Linnes have got the nod as full-backs.
