Fenerbahce is set to host Lyon in a Champions League match this Tuesday at 8:00 PM in Istanbul. The Turkish club enters the contest following a 2-1 defeat to Genclerbirligi over the weekend.

There is uncertainty regarding the availability of striker Romelu Lukaku for the upcoming match. The 33-year-old, who recently joined the squad, missed the weekend fixture due to fitness concerns. Lukaku has noted his personal connection to Turkey, having spent part of his childhood in the country.

Beyond Lukaku, Fenerbahce has significantly bolstered its roster recently. The team has integrated several high-profile players, including Mason Greenwood, Nathan Aké, Ederson, N’Golo Kanté, and Marco Asensio. The club faces pressure to perform against Lyon, as the outcome of this tie is critical to their progression in the tournament.
