Club captain Emanuel Emegha is the only absentee as RC Strasbourg Alsace prepare to host Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday night. 

The soon-to-be Chelsea forward is still out for several weeks and it means that Joquin Panichelli will continue to lead the line for Strasbourg, with David Datro Fofana continuing to play a back-up role off the bench.

Gary O’Neil has plenty of choices to make, especially in defence where he has great depth. Lucas Hogsberg and Chelsea loanee Aarón Anselmino are both set for places on the bench, with Ismael Doukouré and Andrew Omobamidele tipped to be the two starting centre-backs on the night.

Martial Godo, meanwhile, is set to start, which means that there will be no place in the XI for Sweden’s Sébastien Nanasi.
