Turkey will be without Caglar Soyuncu, Ozan Kabak and Orkun Kokcu who are all suspended for the game.

With the absence of Soyuncu and Kabak the Turkish side have a defensive problem but Merih Demiral has recovered in injury in time for the game and his return will be a boost for the back line.

The Juventus defender on loan at Atalanta could start alongside Sassuolo defender Kaan Ayhan or Serdar Aziz.

At right-back Lille star Mehmet Zeki Celik is likely to start with veteran Caner Erkin at left-back.

Taylan Antalyali and Watford central midfielder Ozan Tufan could start as the midfield duo in front of the back-four.

The attack is expected to be Marseille winger Cengiz Under on the wing with Yusuf Yazici on the other flank, Hakan Calhanoglu as a No 10 and Burak Yilmaz up front.

Norway are missing some important players including Erling Haaland.
