Although it was announced ten days ago, Stefan Savić has not yet fully recovered, he did not play against his friend and former teammate from Manchester City, Edin Džeko.

In the fiery derby of the 11th round, Feberbahçe won 3:2 in Trabzon, in a match full of twists and turns and a goal that was scored in the 12th minute of extra time.

Jose Mourinho's team took the lead through the Brazilian Fred, a former player of Manchester United in the 42nd minute, Trabzon converted from two penalties awarded with the assistance of VAR technology, both realized by Banca, an attacker from Congo.

And then the drama in the finish, Edin Dzeko came from the bench and equalized at 2:2 in the 75th minute, and in the 102nd, Dušan Tadić brilliantly started the action, which was realized by Amrabat.

Trabzonspor's defense probably wouldn't have been so porous if Stefan Savić had played, but it will have to wait a little longer...

"Savić has not yet fully recovered and is not able to help us in this match. We need players who are 100 percent ready, we want to win," Trabzonspor coach, former coach of Turkey Senjol Guneš, said before the match.

Trabzonspor, which suffered its second defeat in the championship and is currently 11th in the table with six draws and two wins, is visiting Rizespor on November 9, and this is the next chance for Savić to play and come to the national team meeting recovered.

Otherwise, it will be a question mark for the duels with Iceland and Turkey in Nikšić, on November 16 and 19.

Fenerbahçe, on the other hand, is second in the table with five points less than the leading Galatasaray.
