Real Madrid will be without injured trio Kaka, Marcelo and Alvaro Arbeloa for their Champions League game in Lyon tomorrow night.
Full-backs Marcelo and Arbeloa are both suffering with thigh injuries while Brazilian playmaker Kaka is nursing a muscle injury in his right leg.
Experienced defender Ricardo Carvalho, who has been absent for a month with a back injury, is another who has not travelled with the Spanish giants.
Jose Mourinho's side won the reverse fixture 4-0 at the Bernabeu two weeks ago to continue their 100% record in the competition this year
A win for Madrid will guarantee them progression into the knockout stages.
