The Spanish centre-back and the Brazilian winger have been left out of Franclim Carvalho's 24-man squad and will miss the encounter against the Danish side. Sikou Niakaté is also unavailable, as the Malian central defender continues his recovery following surgery for a "complete rupture of the right Achilles tendon".

Here is the 24-man squad:

Goalkeepers: Tiago Sá, Bernardo Fontes and João CarvalhoDefenders: Víctor Gómez, Vítor Carvalho, Diogo Travassos, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Adrian Barisic, Adrian Bajrami and Bright Arrey-MbiMidfielders: João Moutinho, Denis Huseinbasic, Demir Tiknaz, Diego Rodrigues, Gorby and Tommy MarquésForwards: Ricardo Horta, Fran Navarro, Fran Víctor, Jovan Milosevic, Mario Dorgeles, Jonas Wind, Gabri Martínez and Flinto Costa

This fixture against Aarhus marks Braga's return to Denmark this season. SC Braga previously faced FC Copenhagen on 15 October in the opening round of the UEFA Conference League league phase—a match to forget for the Minho outfit, who suffered a 3-0 defeat with Carlos Vicens still at the helm.

Since then, the Portuguese side secured a 2-0 home win over Belgian outfit Gent on 22 October, marking Franclim Carvalho's debut as Braga head coach.
