If I don´t remember false, I have said we don´t use locative case while expressing the time of the day. It is also the same when using "-ki".

 

sabahki, öğlenki, ikindinki, akşamki, geceki

 

It is also the same for the words we don´t use with locative case. For example:

yarın, dün, bugün, geçen yıl, gelecek hafta, gelecek ay, vs...

-->yarınki, dünkü, bugünkü, geçen yılki, gelecek haftaki, gelecek ayki vs...

 

Yarınki maç saat yedide. (The match (that is) tomorrow is at seven (o´clock))
