Today and tomorrow, football will reign on European football stadiums - the second Champions League matches will be played. Unfortunately, not all clubs will have full squads - some players are injured and will not be able to help their teams.
"Deportivo" team will most likely be without defenders Mauro Silva and will definitely be without defender Enrique Romero and forward Diego Tristan in these matches.
"Monaco" team also suffered losses. Although Ernesto Chevanton, Shabani Nonda, and Jaroslav Plašil have already recovered from their injuries, the match will likely start with substitutes. Monaco team will definitely be without defender Lucas Bernardi, who has not yet recovered from a knee injury.
In this pair, "Liverpool" team seems to have bigger losses. It is not clear yet whether Harry Kewell will play, but it is certain that Steven Gerrard will not be able to play, as he will return to the field only after two months.
Ukrainian team will definitely be without Sergiy Fedorov, but Valentinas Belkevičius has already returned to the lineup, and Brazilian defender Rodolfo will be able to help the team.
Perhaps the most interesting match of today. Santiago Solari will not be able to help the struggling "royal" club, and David Beckham, unexpectedly caught a viral infection, will also not be able to play. However, Zinedine Zidane and Michael Owen may play, as the team's coach Garcia Remón insists that a victory is essential for his team today.
"Roma" also has problems. It is unclear whether Cristian Panucci and Cristian Chivu will play while Philippe Mexes will be suspended due to a red card.
In this pair, it seems that only the Dutch have problems - it is unclear whether Maxwell Andrade and Steven Pienaar will play.
"Juventus" team will be without injured Paulo Montero and Ciro Ferrara, and it is unclear whether Pavel Nedvěd and Fabio Cannavaro will be able to play.
In the Turkish champions' team, Kernal Arslan will definitely not play due to a foot injury. Manchester will have to do without Paul Scholes.
