Francisco Conceicao lies on the treatment bench next to Arkadiusz Milik, but new signings Douglas Luiz and Koopmeiners are celebrating their first game in midfield.

Nico Gonzalez and Kenan Yildiz also form fans behind striker Dusan Vlahovic, while Andrea Cambiaso moves to the full-back position together with debutant Kalulu.
