Trabzonspor away is next, and they are getting players back
Your team goes to Trabzonspor on Saturday, September 19 at 19:00 CEST, and the hosts are healing up. Trabzonspor restarted training after a one-day break with Batagov back with the group (2). Two more injured players also returned to training before the Galatasaray match (5). You are top of the Süper Lig with 13 points from 5 games and a +7 goal difference, but Trabzonspor will not be walking out short-handed.
Buruk: Leao and Batrakov have more to give
Okan Buruk says the international break will make his team stronger. He has not yet got full value from Leao or Batrakov (3). Galatasaray have kept winning without Osimhen, with the older players carrying the load (3).
Galatasaray will try again for Can Uzun in January
Galatasaray are lining up another move for Can Uzun in January, after finishing the first five weeks on top (1). He was on the club's list in the summer window too (1).
Icardi's career could be over
Mauro Icardi's playing career may be finished (4). The former Galatasaray striker has struggled to find a club, and the Lazio move is in trouble (4).
Fan reactions
The mood on the sub is mixed between patience and doubt. One thread is puzzling over Ilkay Gündogan's quiet start, asking whether the Mertens-level impact people expected was ever realistic. Batrakov gets the excitement: his FC27 rating and his wife's Instagram post are both getting shared around, plus a BILD report that Leroy Sané's Germany career may be over under Klopp. The Gündogan discussion is where the argument is loudest.
