Bruno Genesio has made four changes as the Ligue 1 side bid to overturn a 4-1 aggregate deficit, with Mouctar Diakhaby, Corentin Tolisso, Mathieu Valbuena and Maxwel Cornet also drafted in from the off.

The visitors, meanwhile, have made six changes ahead of their visit to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, with Matthijs de Ligt, Davinson Sanchez, Hakim Ziyech, Lasse Schone, Bertrand Traore and Amin Younes all back in the XI.

Lyon: Lopes; Rafael, N'Koulou, Diakhaby, Morel; Gonalons, Tolisso; Cornet, Fekir, Valbuena; Lacazette
Subs: Darder, Ferri, Ghezzal, Gorgelin, Jallet, Rybus, Tousart

Ajax: Onana; Veltman, Sanchez, De Ligt, Viergever; Klaassen, Shone, Ziyech; Traore, Dolberg, Younes
