Available following ban Elmali has cleared his ban from Turkish Football due to illegal gambling and played three games since then, being an option again for Galatasaray.

Impact Elmali is no longer suspended due to illegal gambling and has played three games with Galatasaray since then. The defender has mainly been a bench option in the Champions League for the Lions this season, therefore his return won't affect the starting squad, especially now that Ismail Jakobs is fully back fit.

Suspended due to betting probe Elmali has been suspended by the Turkish Football Federation for an investigation into illegal gambling, according to Colin Millar of The Athletic.

Impact Elmali is not available for Galatasaray for the time being, after the TFF opened up an investigation into numerous players across the league for illegal gambling. This is a blow to the club, as he began the competition in a starting role. The defender has no return date set in place at the moment, out until the investigation is complete or he is cleared of his allegations. Ismail Jakobs should continue to start at left-back due to Elmali's absence.
