Galatasaray are now supposed to play tomorrow against Anadolu Efes and after yesterday's round of Covid tests, six players are still positive. Galatasaray asked the Turkish federation to postpone the game but that request was denied.

Now, with only 6 players Covid free, Galatasaray announced in a statement that they're forced to use some of the positive players to make the game happen.
