"The only thing I know is that we have to go to Midtjylland and we have to fight for a result to qualify," he explained. We will go with 11 players, I don't think we will have many more.

"We don't have right-backs, we don't have left-backs, we don't have midfielders but we will have 11 guys fighting for the result and I'm hopeful that we can do it."

"We cannot be waiting for a combination of other results, we have to go for our result and we will."

Fenerbahce are currently second in the Turkish top-flight behind champions Galatasaray, who are ninth in the Europa League table.
