Agree- he needs to be rested as much as anyone else.

If nothing else, put Dorrington on the bench and see if we can get him a few minutes at the end of the game! Keep those kids on their toes and training hard
With Romero, Richarlison, Odobert and Van de Ven likely to be out injured, there might be FOUR youngsters on the 12 man bench allowed :
Easier to show that by putting up a possible squad to show the space on the bench:
subs : Forster, Udogie, Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Werner, Johnson, Solanke, (8) ....... so room for maybe Dorrington (CB), Olusesi (CM), Austin (GK) plus another

Yes. This could be it. Very nice of you to post Wikipedia links too.Perhaps Galatians?
Epistle to the Galatians - Wikipedia

Galatia - Wikipedia
Gaul?
Galatasaray might very well have been a fortress or stronghold of Galatians that Turks conquered and incorporated as part of their domain. So that they've given their own word saray to the old Galatian stronghold and thereby making it their own. That is very much the history of the whole modern world. Big and hugely numerous national groups, backed by religion, conquering and incorporating others. And Turks in particular were famous for that in that part of the world. They've done that same thing to many, many other cities and fortresses so that this should not strike anyone as a big surprise.
Turks were in fact most successful under their Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent who ventured as far as Vienna to the west but stopped, failed short of it. Hurrem Sultan was his wife and she was known as the one pulling all of the strings when it came to domestic affairs that she happened to find herself concerned with. And, indeed, the domestic matters that happened to come under the purview of her concern grew a whole, whole lot during her reign. She was the force to be reckoned with behind Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.

Interesting. Here is a photo from your link:
Galata - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Notice how the main hypothesis there appears to be that the name Galata comes from "Gauls," the old Celtic tribe. But notice also how your wikipedia link doesn't even try to explain why was that tribe named Gauls. In other words, why was that old Celtic tribe named by the word gauls?
Also notice a couple of other things:
1. How Istanbul, where Galata-saray is and where Gauls had their stronghold, is very much located on the sea. It is a tremendous place as a sea location. Connected to the Black Sea and connected to the Mediterranean Sea via the Dardanelles Strait.
2. How other hypotheses about the origin of the word Galata are also associated with the sea - as per that Italian word calata in the photo above.
Hence, I think that the word Galata indeed comes from Gauls, the old Celtic tribe. But that the tribe itself was named after gulls. The birds colloquially known as seagulls. And Gauls were so named because they lived and liked to live next to and off of the sea. Just like the birds.
As I wrote before, Galatas is a Byzantine name, not a Turkish one. The Turkish name for the area is Karakoy.

To be honest, what set me off was the book in the bible, “Galatians”, and knowledge that early churches were in Asia Minor (Cappadocia), now Turkey and also Greece (Turkey being, “Greek” before the Islamic conquests).Interesting. Here is a photo from your link:

@thedealers back and he's getting humiliated again!
There's a few multis appearing lately.
I don’t think we should start all four teenagers tbh. And I’m a big advocate for giving young uns a good chance in competitive games, think this is a step too far due to crowd, and experience of opposition. Maybe we say f it and be bold and don’t worry about the potential loss and they can bank an intimidating experience on their journeys
Pffft... It'll be character building!!!Spurs fans call for depth so we can rest and rotate yet don't want us to use said depth when the perfect opportunity arises
We've just had 4/5 nights solid of Fireworks in and around London already this week
... What's a few more gonna do?
Well even more reason to play our Young boys!!
Anyone know if the metro is safe on a match night?
Since you are not a Fenerbahçe or Besiktas fan, you will not have any problems dont worry. Worst case scenario would be they want you to sing Galatasaray chants with them.
Have I strayed onto Turkish Wikipedia?
