Beşiktaş complete preparations for Crystal Palace clash with two absentees
Beşiktaş wrapped up preparations for their UEFA Europa League match against Crystal Palace, with Orkun Kökçü and Milot Rashica missing training due to injuries.
Beşiktaş have completed their preparations for tomorrow's UEFA Europa League third-round match against Crystal Palace. The Turkish side held their final training session under head coach Vincenzo Italiano at the BJK Nevzat Demir Facilities. The first 15 minutes of the session were open to the press.
The training began with warm-up exercises before moving into conditioning work. In the closed part of the session, the team focused on tactical preparations for the match against the English club. Italiano reportedly gave his players specific instructions regarding Crystal Palace's style of play.
A concerning development for Beşiktaş was the absence of two key players. Captain Orkun Kökçü and winger Milot Rashica were unable to take part in training due to injuries. It remains unclear whether either player will be fit in time for the match.
Beşiktaş will host Crystal Palace at the Tüpraş Stadium tomorrow at 22:00. Dutch referee Danny Makkelie has been appointed to officiate the match. The Black and Whites will be looking to secure a home win in their third group-stage fixture of the Europa League.
