Mourinho Sticks with Winning Lineup for Fenerbahçe

Fenerbahçe faced Alanyaspor in the fourth round of the Turkish Super League, with manager José Mourinho making no changes to the lineup that dominated Çaykur Rizespor in the previous match. The team secured a resounding 5-0 victory in that game, and Mourinho clearly felt no need to alter the winning formula. Mert Hakan Yandaş, who was previously suspended, made his Super League debut this season. The midfielder, who turned 30 this year, has already featured in three Champions League qualifying matches. Bright Osayi Samuel remains sidelined with an ankle injury, while other players like Samet Akaydin, Rade Krunic, Miha Zajc, Luan Peres, and Ryan Kent were not included in the starting lineup due to tactical decisions. Fenerbahçe’s starting XI consisted of Dominik Livaković, Mert Müldür, Çağlar Söyüncü, Alexander Djiku, Jayden Oosterwolde, Fred, İsmail Yüksek, Dušan Tadić, Sebastian Szymański, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Edin Džeko.
