Mourinho Prepares Major Midfield Change: Amrabat to Replace İsmail Yüksek
Fenerbahçe's head coach, Jose Mourinho, is expected to make some changes to the starting XI following the derby defeat. One of the main changes from the Portuguese coach will likely be in central midfield.
Jose Mourinho is preparing to bench İsmail Yüksek, one of the team’s regular starters.
The Portuguese coach did not start İsmail Yüksek in the second half of the Galatasaray match, and in the coming weeks, he plans to field new signing Sofyan Amrabat in this position.
According to a report from Milliyet, after joining the team post-EURO 2024, İsmail Yüksek, whom Mourinho has consistently started and played for 90 minutes in almost every match, may lose his spot to the Moroccan player.
It is expected that Jose Mourinho will give the Fred-Amrabat duo the opportunity to play as central midfielders in upcoming matches.
Sofyan Amrabat has appeared in two matches for Fenerbahçe.
In these games, the player was substituted in and played for 55 minutes.
Meanwhile, İsmail Yüksek has featured in 9 matches this season.
The 25-year-old midfielder has played a total of 764 minutes but has not contributed with any goals or assists.
