Team news and probable team line-ups for Tuesday's Champions League matches in Group A:
ANDERLECHT v OLYMPIQUE LYON
Anderlecht's main striker Aruna Dindane is serving a one-match suspension so misses the visit of group leaders Lyon.
Coach Hugo Broos must decide on his replacement, but his usual partner in the frontline of his 4-4-2 formation, Croatian international Ivica Mornar, has not played in either of Anderlecht's last two competitive games.
Central defender Vincent Kompany, 17, who did not play in Friday's 2-0 win over Mons because of a slight calf muscle injury, will play on Tuesday.
Lyon goalkeeper Gregory Coupet, France's number two, is very doubtful with stomach muscle injuries. He would be replaced by third-choice goalkeeper Nicolas Puydebois because Remy Vercoutre has a foot injury.
Midfielder Vikash Dhorasoo is also out because of a bout of gastro-enteritis but Juninho, Edmilson and Mahamadou Diarra, left out of Friday's 1-0 league win over Strasbourg, are back in the squad.
Probable teams:
Anderlecht: 1-Daniel Zitka, 6-Michal Zewlakow, 5-Glen De Boeck, 27-Vincent Kompany, 3-Olivier Deschacht, 14-Mark Hendrikx, 15-Besnik Hasi, 10-Walter Baseggio, 11-Martin Kolar, 17-Christian Wilhemsson, 19-Ivica Mornar.
Olympique Lyon: 30-Nicolas Puydebois, 12-Anthony Reveilliere, 3-Edmilson, 20-Patrick Mueller, 23-Jeremie Berthod, 7-Djila Diarra, 8-Juninho Pernambucano, 14-Sidney Govou, 11-Florent Malouda, 18-Peguy Luyindula, 9-Giovane Elber.
Referee: Domenico Messina (Italy).
CELTIC v BAYERN MUNICH
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is likely to be without Swedish goalkeeper Magnus Hedman, who was replaced by Robert Douglas during Saturday's 5-1 league win at Dundee United after a back problem.
But the Glasgow club will still field a strong side against the 2001 Champions League winners despite being without Scotland midfielder Paul Lambert.
O'Neill's major dilemma is who to leave out of a high-scoring side that has gone 13 games unbeaten in the Scottish premier league this season.
O'Neill is likely to opt for an attacking formation knowing a victory, coupled with Group A rivals Lyon avoiding defeat in Anderlecht, would secure Celtic's place in the last 16.
Bayern, who need to win to keep alive their chances of advancing, will welcome back Brazilian midfielder Ze Roberto, fit again after nursing a sore back, but will miss Sebastian Deisler. The Germany midfielder is being treated for depression and faces a lengthy absence.
The German champions remained fourth in the Bundesliga despite struggling to beat city rivals TSV Munich 1860 1-0 on Saturday, with Dutch striker Roy Makaay scoring the winner.
However, captain Oliver Kahn was confident they could raise their game to beat Celtic. "This performance wasn't anywhere near good enough for the match against Glasgow but a good horse jumps only as high as it has to," the Bayern and Germany goalkeeper said.
Probable teams:
Celtic: 20-Robert Douglas, 35-Johan Mjallby, 6-Dianbobo Balde, 8-Alan Thompson, 17-Didier Agathe, 43-Liam Miller, 18-Neil Lennon, 19-Stilian Petrov, 9-Chris Sutton, 10-John Hartson, 7-Henrik Larsson.
Bayern Munich: 1-Oliver Kahn, 2-Willy Sagnol, 4-Samuel Kuffour, 5-Robert Kovac, 3-Bixente Lizarazu, 20-Hasan Salihamidzic, 16-Jens Jeremies, 13-Michael Ballack, 11-Ze Roberto, 10-Roy Makaay, 14-Claudio Pizarro.
Referee: Rene Temmink (Netherlands).
