Anderlecht prepare for Lyon

Anderlecht are traveling to Lyon on Tuesday. The team consists out of the same 18 players who defeated Lokeren.


Olivier Doll was replaced during the game in Lokeren with a light injury. He should be fit for the game on Wednesday. If not, Zewlakow will replace him.

If Aruna gets a yellow card in the match in Lyon, he'll miss the home game vs. Bayern München.

Today, Anderlecht are training twice. Tomorrow, the team will travel to Lyon by train. 2,000 Anderlecht fans will join the players. There are 38.000 fans expected in Stade Gerland.

The 18 for Lyon are: Zitka, Doll, Kompany, De Boeck, Tihinen, Deschacht, Wilhelmsson, Hasi, Baseggio, Zetterberg, Seol, Aruna, Peersman, Ilic, Hendrikx, Zewlakow, Deman, Mornar. It's possible that also Lamine Troaré will join the team.

Hugo Broos is still thinking about the formation: 4-5-1 or 4-4-2. In the first case, Zetterberg will play. Else, Mornar will appear at the kick-off. It's most likely that Glen de Boeck will replace Vincent Kompany.

Lyon have to miss Govou and Caçapa.

The Uefa appointed Portugese referee Manuel Gomes Costa to lead the game.
