  • Fenerbahçe has submitted its squad list to UEFA for upcoming matches against Gornik Zabrze.
  • New signings Vedat Muriqi, Nathan Ake, and Mason Greenwood are not included in the UEFA squad.
  • Fenerbahçe retains the right to add or remove two players from the squad up to 24 hours before the match.

Fenerbahçe has finalized its squad for the UEFA matches against Gornik Zabrze, submitting the list to the governing body. Notably absent from the European competition roster are the club's recent acquisitions, including forwards Vedat Muriqi and Mason Greenwood, as well as defender Nathan Ake.

The exclusion of these key new signings from the UEFA squad raises questions about their immediate integration into the team's European campaign. The club also opted not to include midfielder N'Golo Kante in the submitted list, despite his status as a significant transfer.

Fenerbahçe, however, maintains flexibility. The team has the option to make changes to the squad, with the ability to add or remove up to two players within the 24-hour window preceding each match. This provision allows for potential adjustments based on team form, fitness, or tactical considerations as the competition progresses.
