Striker Vedat Muriqi was on the bench for Fenerbahçe, which won against Sturm Graz on Wednesday night.
But Muriqi did not get the chance to appear in the first match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League.
The Kosovo star watched the match played in Istanbul from the bench.
Fenerbahçe coach Ismail Kartal briefly justified the decision.
"Vedat Muriqi is injured," the coach of the Turkish giant said briefly.
In fact, Muriqi returned from an injury suffered during the preparatory phase a few days ago.
