With the return of Nene, Guendouzi and Mert Hakan in Fenerbahçe, the competition for jerseys increases after the international break.

Fenerbahçe, which had a below-expected start to the season in the Super League, entered the national break in high spirits after the 8-0 victory against Eyüpspor.

While coach İsmail Kartal continued his work during the break, good news came from 3 stars.

NENE BECAME A STAR WITH 2 GOALS

Dorgeles Nene was the star of the night as Mali defeated Cape Verde 3-1 in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers. The 23-year-old attacker scored 2 goals in the 39th and 51st minutes and carried his country to victory.

This performance of Nene, who usually came from the club and played limited time in the first part of the season in Fenerbahçe, in the national jersey was an important message in terms of the jersey competition after the international break. Due to his speed, one-on-one effectiveness and ability to operate in different offensive zones, Nene is expected to be one of the alternatives that İsmail Kartal can use more on his return.

GOOD NEWS OF GUENDOUZI

Kartal's hand will not only become stronger in attack. The French star will be able to play in the Aston Villa match after UEFA reduced the 4-match suspension given to Matteo Guendouzi to 3 matches, two of which will be postponed during the one-year supervision period. The return of Guendouzi, who missed the Rome test, is of great importance in terms of midfield rotation, especially in Europe.

MERT HAKAN IS COMING BACK

Kartal's rotation area will expand with Mert Hakan Yandaş joining the technical staff's options again. While Nene's debut in the national team will increase the competition in the offensive line, the returns of Guendouzi and Mert Hakan will increase the alternatives in the midfield.
