There are not many injury concerns that both sides have to worry about ahead of this clash. Even the few notable injuries that have surfaced recently are on the home side. Turkey will miss Salih Ozcan due to bone swelling in his foot. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder’s absence will be a big blow for the country. Besides, Hakan Calhanoglu is also not in the squad due to a hamstring problem. Hence, it will be interesting to see how they will replace the duo in the starting lineup. On the other hand, Luxembourg do not have any notable injury crisis. Hence, they will be able to name a strong starting XI.
Turkey possible line-up: Bayindir, Celik, Ayhan, Soyuncu, Kadioglu, Kahveci, Kokcu, Under, Akturkoglu, Dervisoglu, Dursun
Luxembourg possible line-up: Moris, Da Graca, Chanot, Carlson, Pinto, Gerson, Bohnert, Barreiro, Thill, Rodrigues, Sinani
