Lyon unchanged for Fenerbahçe Champions League play-off second leg | OneFootball

Lyon are unchanged for Wednesday's Champions League play-off second leg against Fenerbahçe, naming the same XI as in Istanbul after a 1-1 first-leg draw, with kick-off at 21:00.

According to L'Équipe, Paulo Fonseca rotated heavily for the Ligue 1 opener against Toulouse, won 2-0, and has restored his core players for the return.

Loïs Openda and captain Corentin Tolisso start, as do all the players who began the away leg.

Fenerbahçe are without Marco Asensio and Kerem Aktürkoglu after weekend injuries. Asensio had been a substitute in the first leg, while Oguz Aydin comes in for Aktürkoglu. Former Marseille forward Mason Greenwood, who equalised in Türkiye last week, keeps his place.

Lyon XI: Greif, Maitland-Niles, R. Kluivert, Niakhaté, Abner, Tessmann, Morton, Tolisso (cap.), Nuamah, Openda, M. Fofana.

Fenerbahçe XI: Ederson, Semedo, Skriniar, Aké, Brown, Guendouzi, Kanté, Greenwood, Talisca, Aydin, Muriqi.
