Preview: Bordeaux v Lyon

by setanta.com staff , 07 April 2010

Bordeaux will welcome back captain Alou Diarra for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Lyon Stade Chaban-Delmas.


Diarra missed the first leg through suspension and his return is a boost for manager Laurent Blanc as his side look to overcome a 3-1 deficit against their French opponents.

Blanc could also call-up centre-back Marc Planus as he has recovered from a knee injury, but there is some concern over Fernando (toe) and Gregory Sertic (cheekbone) with both major doubts.

Lisandro scored twice for Lyon in the first leg but he is suspended for the return match, while they are also without defender Mathieu Bodmer (thigh) and Jean Makoun (adductor).

The former is expected to be replaced by the fit-again Jean-Alain, with Bafetimbi Gomis tipped to replace Lisandro.
