Sturm Graz

Daniil Khudyakov had to be withdrawn in the 28th minute of Sturm Graz's derby against GAK after picking up an injury, and it is still unclear how serious it is ahead of Thursday's visit from Marseille. The hosts already have nine players unavailable, including Otar Kiteishvili with a calf injury and Emran Soglo with a muscle injury.

Jacob Peter Hödl, who started three of Sturm's last five matches, appeared as a substitute last time out, while Belmin Beganović did not play after two earlier starts in that run. At left-back, Jürgen Heil and Luís Balbo have each started once, as have Luca Weinhandl and Jon Gorenc Stankovič in central midfield.

Marseille

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg remains a doubt for Marseille's trip to Austria. The midfielder has returned to group training after a muscle injury but was left out against Angers because he was not yet physically ready. Derek Cornelius is out with a hip injury.

Geoffrey Kondogbia made his first start of this run in that Angers game. Nayef Aguerd had started three of Marseille's previous five matches before appearing as a substitute against Angers, while Bamo Meïté did not play after one start in that spell.
