If there is no last minute change to his travel plan, Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike will arrive Istanbul on Wednesday to begin training with his teammates ahead of the meeting with Elazı�spor.

The 26 - year - old attacker had been authorized by the leadership of the Yellow Canaries to undertake the 4,350 mile journey to Lagos following the death of sister - in - law.

Emenike , who is now 100 percent fit, was an unused substitute against Kasimpasa last weekend.

Fenerbahce occupy the first position on the table with 47 points after 21 rounds of matches.

The absence of Emmanuel Emenike from the starting lineup coincided with the Yellow Canaries drop in form in the championship.

From an available nine points, Fenerbahce picked up only three , after the narrow 2 - 1 win against Kasimpasa on Sunday.
