Josef is sidelined with an injury and will not be available until October at the least. Salih Ucan is the likeliest to deputise. Kenan Karaman, who wasn't expected to start here, is also carrying a knock and will be assessed. Serdar Saatci has been banished to the reserves after an altercation with the manager Valerien Ismael. Whether he will spend the season at Besiktas remains to be seen. New arrivals Romain Saiss, Wout Weghorst, Jackson Muleka, and Gedson Fernandes are all poised to make their debut here while it is yet too early for fellow summer transfer Arthur Masuaku to be involved. Manager Cagdas Atan has a full squad available to pick from. Kayserispor are the only club in the Super Lig that haven't brought in any new names during the transfer window.
