Here are the lineups for the Europa League duel between Hoffenheim and Lyon.

TSG Hoffenheim will hope to earn their first points of the Europa League campaign as they host Lyon at SNP Arena. The visitors won both of their first two games in the league phase, while Christian Ilzer's men lost to CFI Crete and Beşiktaş.

Nathan De Cat, Albian Hajdari and Patrick Wimmer remain on sidelines for the hosts as they hope to build from the weekend's win at Borussia Mönchengladbach. Ilzer once again made several changes to his lineup to deal with the fixture congestion.

The Ligue 1 leaders have former Bundesliga players Corentin Tolisso, Julien Duranville and Moussa Niakhaté in their matchday squad, while Loïs Openda is absent due to an injury.

Here are the lineups for the matchday 3 Europa League duel in Sinsheim.
