Vedat Muriqi may remain on the bench in Fenerbahçe's match against Roma.
The derby loss to Besiktas has led coach Ismail Kartal to consider changes to the lineup.
According to reports from Turkish media, Fenerbahçe's coach does not plan to activate Muriqi from the first minute against Roma. Romelu Lukaku is expected to start in his place.
Fenerbahce hosts Roma on Thursday at 18:45 in the first match of the Champions League phase.
The 32-year-old Muriqi has scored three goals and made one assist in seven matches played in all competitions this season.
