French champions Lyon welcome Catalan giants Barcelona to Stade Gerland on Tuesday evening for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie.
Claude Puel's side enter the match in good form after winning their last three Ligue 1 games, form that has seen them open up a six-point gap at the top of the table.
However, they will be without Sidney Govou and Mathieu Bodmer, who are both injured, while Fabio Santos is struggling with a thigh strain. Centre-back John Mensah is likely to fill in.
The right-back position is still a major concern for Puel, with Anthony Reveillere and Francois Clerc still out with long-term knee injuries.
Captain Juninho and France striker Karim Benzema, along with Fabio Grosso, Honorato Ederson and Kader Keita were all rested from the starting line-up in last weekend's 2-0 win at Nancy and should return.
Barcelona team newsBarcelona, in contrast to Lyon, have seen their domestic form tail off somewhat after going two without a win, including losing their 22-game unbeaten Primera Liga run following a 2-1 loss to city rivals Espanyol.
Barca will be without France left-back Eric Abidal, who has been ruled out for at least two months with an adductor injury sustained in last Saturday's loss.
Sylvinho is likely to fill in for Abidal at left-back with Carles Puyol primed to replace Gerard Pique at the heart of Josep Guardiola's defence.
Barca's attack is based on a fearsome trident formed by Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi, who have scored 51 goals in the Spanish league and 66 goals in all competitions.
Barcelona will be without Gabriel Milito (knee) and Andres Iniesta (hamstring). Alexander Hleb could be handed a rare start as Seydou Keita could be dropped following his weekend dismissal.
