Arda Guler has made a full recovery from a major injury scare and will be fit for Turkey's opening World Cup game against Australia on 12 June.
What happened?
The Real Madrid midfielder gave Turkey a scare a few weeks ago but is now ready to play.
Why it matters for Arda Guler
Guler and Kenan Yildiz are the two genuine stars of Turkey's youth-driven squad.
Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella has built a strong team with a mix of young and experienced players.
What comes next?
Turkey will face Australia, Paraguay, and the United States in Group D, and Montella's squad is looking to progress to the next round.
The team's main strength is in midfield and attack, with Guler and Yildiz playing key roles.
Montella has engineered a tactically fluid 4-2-3-1 system to get the best out of his players.
Hakan Calhanoglu is the elder statesman and will be pulling strings in midfield.
The main area of concern for Turkey is in defence, where they can be unpredictable and lack discipline.
Abdulkerim Bardakci and Merih Demiral are the likely centre-back pairing, but they sometimes lack synergy.
Australia's threat on counterattacks and from set pieces is a genuine concern for Turkey.
Turkey have struggled against well-drilled defensive sides in the past, and this could be a problem in Group D.
The team camp has been uncharacteristically tranquil, with no drama or major fights.
Montella has completely immersed himself in Turkish football culture, saying "I can think like a Turk, I eat like a Turk, I act like a Turk".
This is a young Turkish team, but they have plenty of top-level experience and are looking to make an impact in the World Cup.
Guler is relishing the challenge, saying "If there is pressure, I am here for it".
The World Cup starts on 12 June, and Turkey will be looking to make a strong start against Australia.
Turkey's squad is a mix of youth and experience, with players like Calhanoglu and Orkun Kokcu providing leadership.
Kokcu is adept at keeping the ball and doing defensive work, as well as contributing to attacking moves.
The full-backs give Montella flexibility and ensure he is not overly reliant on Guler.
Turkey's fans and media have been supportive, and the team is looking to build on this momentum.
The World Cup is a major tournament, and Turkey will be looking to make a strong impression.
Guler and Yildiz are the stars of the show, but the whole team will be looking to work together to achieve success.
