Sports Mole looks at how Turkey could line up in their Euro 2024 opener against Georgia.

Turkey head coach Vincenzo Montella is expected to name Juventus' 19-year-old attacker Kenan Yildiz in his starting XI for Tuesday's Euro 2024 opener against Georgia.

Yildiz has one goal in seven appearances for his national side, and the teenager is likely to be given the nod behind Galatasaray's Baris Alper Yilmaz on Tuesday evening.

There is also expected to be a start for Real Madrid teenager Arda Guler, while Kerem Akturkoglu and Hakan Calhanoglu are certain to be in the Turkey XI for this contest.

Borussia Dortmund's Salih Ozcan is set to be given the nod alongside Calhanoglu in central midfield, while Merih Demiral will feature in the middle of the defence.

Turkey suffered a triple injury blow during their preparations for Euro 2024, with Enes Unal, Caglar Soyuncu and Ozan Kabak being forced to withdraw from the squad.

Meanwhile, Montella surprised many when he decided against naming 18-year-old Can Uzun in his final squad, with the forward netting 16 times in Germany's second tier last season.

Manchester United's Altay Bayindir is among the goalkeeping group, but Mert Gunok is expected to be given the nod between the sticks, while Galatasaray's Kaan Ayhan will feature at right-back.

Turkey possible starting lineup: Gunok; Ayhan, Demiral, Bardakci, Kadioglu; Ozcan, Calhanoglu; Guler, Yildiz, Akturkoglu; Yilmaz
