Turkey, Spor Toto Süper Lig, Kayseri Erciyesspor – Galatasaray 1:2
Goran Pandev was an unused substitute for Galatasaray.  The problem for Pandev right now, besides the fact that he is still not in the best physical condition, is that the Turkish league only allows five foreigners to start in a single match.  Four are locks to start in Wesley Sneijder, Fernando Muslera, Felipe Melo and Aurélien Chedjou.  That only leaves one spot up for grabs between Pandev, Blerim Džemaili, Alex Telles and Bruma.  Each of those other three players has started at least once over the past month, while Goran is still awaiting his first start in the Turkish league.
