Turkey: Change in Goal and Arda Güler’s Leadership

Managed by Vincenzo Montella, the Turkish national team is looking to improve its ball possession and be more aggressive playing in front of its home crowd. The team will be without first-choice goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır, suspended after being sent off in the opener against France, which opens the door for Altay Bayındır to start in goal.

Young Real Madrid midfielder Arda Güler remains the team’s main playmaker and biggest hope for creativity in attack.
