Team news

While first-choice right-back Nelson Semedo is also ruled out for one month. So left-back Jonny may have to feature on the right side of the defence. Bruno Lage will certainly be looking to recall Raul Jimenez to the starting lineup. While Leander Dendoncker and Rayan Ait-Nouri will also be looking to return to the starting lineup.
Joshua King might also be back in content to start after returning from his hamstring issue. But Ismaila Sarr still looks to miss out on the clash. Nicolas Nkoulou is also ruled out of the game. Hernandez did score a brilliant goal against Arsenal and will be looking forward to another opportunity from the start. Jeremy Ngakia will also be looking to return to the traveling squad after missing out previously due to a hamstring issue.

Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Jonny, Neves, Dendoncker, Ait-Nouri; Hwang, Jimenez, Podence
