Istanbul Basaksehir take on Paris Saint-Germain in Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Senegal’s Demba Ba and Cape Verde’s Carlos Ponck excluded from the starting XI.
The reigning Turkish Super Lig kings would be hoping to make a winning home debut in the competition against the French team who finished as 2019-20 runners-up.
To achieve this, manager Okan Buruk has decided to start the duo as substitute, while Nigeria’s Okechukwu Azubuike is ruled out due to injury.
