The Yellow Canaries were back on the training ground at Samandıra on Sunday morning to kick start preparations for next week's Turkcell Süper Lig home fixture against Gaziantepspor. A number of players with injuries skipped Sunday's practice session, while it was also revealed that Brazilian defensive midfielder Cristian Baroni had a torn muscle in his right leg.

Fenerbahçe players were back at Samandıra's Can Bartu Training Grounds on Sunday morning, as they kick started preparations for next Friday's Turkcell Süper Lig home fixture against Gaziantepspor. Today's practice began at 11:00 AM with coach Christoph Daum's team talk on centre pitch.

Afterwards, the Yellow Canaries warmed up with a light jog in the forest beside the training grounds. While players involved in last night's Gençlerbirliği game retreated inside the facilities for a regeneration practice and post-match massages and treatments, the rest of the squad conducted scrimmage matches outside under Christoph Daum, Roland Koch and Ayhan Tumani's supervision.

There were a number of players with injuries that sat out Sunday's practice. It was revealed that Cristian Baroni had a torn muscle in the back of his right leg, while Gökhan Ünal who also picked up a knock in last night's game in Ankara took a rest due to pain in his right shoulder. Gökhan Gönül (pain in his right foot), Ali Bilgin (post-surgery recovery), Dani Güiza (pain in his heel), Önder Turacı (pain in his left foot achilles tendon), Emre Belözoğlu and André Santos (post-game fatigue) all received treatments inside the facilities.

The Yellow Canaries will take the day off on Monday, before resuming preparations for their Gaziantepspor fixture with a double practice on Tuesday, at 11:00 AM and at 15:30 (3:30 PM).
