Lopez banned for Lyon, Bordeaux welcome back skipper
Bordeaux welcome Lyon to Stade Chaban-Delmas on Wednesday aiming to overturn their first leg defeat to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Lyon are favourites to progress to a last four meeting with either Bayern Munich or Manchester United following their 3-1 win at Stade Gerland last week.
However, Lyon will have to make do without two-goal hero from the first leg Lisandro Lopez as the striker is suspended.
French international Sidney Govou is also banned for Claude Puel's side.
Injured trio Cleber Anderson, Francois Clerc and Jean Makoun remain sidelined for the visitors.
Mathieu Bodmer is doubtful with a groin problem, while Cris and Miralem Pjanic are a booking away from missing the first leg of the semi-final if Lyon progress.
Bordeaux news
Bordeaux go into the game on the back of three successive defeats as they look to get their campaign back on track.
Goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso will start for Bordeaux despite struggling with a thigh problem.
Gregory Sertic (foot) and Fernando (fractured cheekbone) are both ruled out for Laurent Blanc's men.
Marc Planus could return after almost a month out, while captain Alou Diarra is available again after missing the first leg through suspension.
