Fenerbahçe are now ready to complete the group phase of the UEFA Europa League. The Yellow Canaries ended their preparations for Thursday's Sheriff game with a final practice on Wednesday evening. Injured players Emre and Deivid did not take part in tonight's practice and are most likely crossed out for the fixture. The Canaries are now in camp at Samandıra, awaiting tomorrow night's kick-off.

Wednesday's practice at Samandıra's Can Bartu Training Grounds began at 18:00 (6 PM) and took for about an hour and a half. German coach Christoph Daum gave his players a team talk at the start of the practice session, before Roland Koch gave a motivational speech after which everyone shouted out the slogan, "Last week... Three victories".

The Yellow Canaries then kicked off the action with jogging, coordination drills and warm-up exercises. Afterwards, they practiced passing drills before conducting a scrimmage match. The Fenerbahçe squad then practiced set pieces and crosses, before completing the training session with a full tactical practice match.

While Colin Kazım-Richards and Önder Turacı continued with their post-surgery recovery programmes, other injured players Emre Belözoğlu and Deivid de Souza continued to practice seperately from the rest of the squad, under physiotherapist supervision. The Yellow Canaries are now in camp at the training grounds, waiting for tomorrow night's kick-off at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, which is scheduled for 22:05 (10:05 PM).
