FC Barcelona - Olympique Lyonnais

TEAM NEWS

FC Barcelona

Lionel Messi was left out of the squad against Osasuna, but only as a precautionary measure after he reported back from international duty with a calf strain and should be declared fit to face Lyon. Samuel Eto'o is out with a thigh injury, while Carles Puyol and EdmĂ*lson are also both still sidelined.

Probable Starting XI: Valdés, Zambrotta, Abidal, G. Milito, Thuram, Touré, Xavi, Deco, Ronaldinho, Henry, Messi.

Olympique Lyonnais

The French champions travel to la Ciutat Contal with Gregory Coupet and Cris still out with long-term injuries. Fred is suspended for the opening game of the group stage, but Perrin will be able to call upon Benzema or Ben Arfa to play up front.

Probably Starting XI: Vercoutre, Grosso, Squillaci, Cléber, Clerc, Toulalan, Källström, Bodmer, Juninho, Govou, Benzema.


Barca are under preassure to get result after their dissapointing start of the season. On the other hand Lyon aren't playing bad but they aren't the same team like in the last couple of years. I expect an open game
Pick: Both teams to score , Over 2,5
