Having scored 14 goals in all competitions this season and played in all of Galatasaray's last eight games, it may come as a surprise, but Mauro Icardi is set to start on the bench against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday, according to 'Ajansspor'.
The 23-year-old Turkish international Baris Yilmaz will be replacing the Argentinian centre-forward in a bid to stun the reigning German champions. He provided the crucial assist in the win at Old Trafford three weeks ago.
With four points from two games, Galatasaray could make a big impact on qualification by picking up a point or more against the Bavarians.
The striker's presence on the bench would come as a surprise given that a few days ago the Turkish club confirmed that the player had a right ankle injury and was expected to be out of action for several weeks.
