Galatasaray name travelling squad
Hakim Ziyech has been ruled out of a reunion with former manager Erik ten Hag in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League game between Manchester United and Galatasaray.
The Morocco winger was a key member of Ten Hag's outstanding Ajax side before joining Chelsea in 2020. A loan move was agreed to send him to Istanbul in the summer but he has sustained what was described as a minor injury.
Nonetheless, despite hopes he would be available for the Group A encounter, the 30-year-old has not been named in the 19-man travelling squad.
