Demir Ege Tıknaz, Deniz Gül, Muhammed Şengezer, and Yunus Akgün rejoined the full group after missing Monday's practice due to travel or minor knocks. Midfielder Orkun Kökçü sat out again with persistent toe pain and his availability for Friday remains uncertain.

Montella oversaw passing drills and tactical exercises behind closed doors. TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu and board members observed the session. Turkey faces France in Kocaeli on Friday at 21:45 before hosting Italy on Monday.
