Debrecen Build Up

[The_weatherman]

Any word on Fiorentina - Lyon? Is Mutu out or anything else useful? Nevermind, found it myself:

Team news
Fiorentina
Out: Alessandro Gamberini (thigh), Adrian Mutu (knee)
Doubtful: Stevan Jovetić (toe)
Suspended: none
Misses next match if booked: Marco Donadel, Dario Dainelli

Prandelli said on the eve of the game: "Jovetić is available but I don't think I'll use him as it's around 20 days since he last played."

Did you know?
Fiorentina have won only one of their five previous home games against French visitors, while Lyon have recorded four victories and one draw in seven previous visits to Italy.

Last night SSN was saying both Mutu and Jovetic were out.

That would indeed by nice.

Aquilani should start this game and play the first hour.

I'm sick of seeing our big summer signing sitting on the bench as we struggle.

Fiorentina on a poor run of losing 3 in the last 6 but Lyons injury list is getting as bad as ours.

Fiorentina can seal qualification to the last-16 of the UEFA Champions, and knock Liverpool out in the process, if they beat Lyon in Florence.

Lyon have already secured their safe passage to the knockout stages but Rafa Benitez will be praying the Ligue 1 outfit can get a positive result at the Artemio Franchi.

If Claude Puel's side can come away with a point and Liverpool beat Debrecen in Hungary the Reds will need to beat Fiorentina by three goals in the final group game to qualify from Group E.

However La Viola could put end to the Merseysiders' hope with three points over Lyon and manager Cesare Prandelli is relishing the pressure of the task at hand.

Fiorentina will not have it easy with Puel already stating that he will send out a strong side against the Italians in a bid to finish on top of the group, while Prandelli has injuries to key front men to contend with.

The Italians lost 1-0 when the two sides met on match day one and head into the clash on a poor run of form having lost three of their last six Serie A matches including a 3-2 reverse at home to Parma at the weekend.
Team news

Defender Alessandro Gamberini (thigh) and key striker Adrian Mutu (knee) have definitely been ruled out.

Meanwhile talented forward Stevan Jovetic, who scored twice in the 2-0 win over Liverpool in September, is extremely doubtful with a toe injury.

Lyon have an extensive casualty list with Anderson (knee, calf, shoulder), Mathieu Bodmer (groin), Anthony Réveillère (calf), Maxime Gonalons (groin), Jérémy Toulalan (groin) and François Clerc (knee) all out.

Well it seems Johnson is in full training from pictures taken last night.

He's missed the ball look.
