Eric Bailly
Bailly was an unused substitute as Marseille suffered their first league defeat of the season on Saturday. They lost 2-1 at home to Ajaccio to lose ground on leaders Paris Saint-Germain. Bailly has struggled for game time in Ligue 1 but on Wednesday will be looking to maintain his run of starts in the Champions League when Marseille travel to Sporting.
Alex Telles
Full-back Telles played 71 minutes in Sevilla's 1-1 draw at home to Athletic Bilbao. It continues their poor start to the season, with just one win in their opening eight La Liga outings.
Telles also picked up his third caution of the campaign in the first half.

Hannibal Mejbri
The Manchester United midfielder played 77 minutes as he excelled in his first start for Birmingham.
And he played his part as his temporary employers strolled to a 3-0 home win over Bristol City in the Championship. Mejbri showed plenty of energy and will be hoping to retain his place in the starting XI.
Amad
Amad was introduced after 77 minutes but got off three shots as Sunderland narrowly lost 2-1 to Swansea. Those are impressive stats given he only touched the ball nine times during his cameo.
Ethan Laird
The wing-back has excelled of late for QPR but was substituted after just 26 minutes of their 2-1 win over Reading on Friday. Thankfully, boss Michael Beale offered an encouraging update.
"He was close to me and said he was feeling a bit of tightness, so obviously I’m not going to mess around with that," he said. "I don’t think it’s anything more than that at the moment. He hasn’t pulled anything."
Alvaro Fernandez
After a midweek man-of-the-match display, Fernandez again put on a stellar show as Preston beat high-flying Norwich on Saturday.
The Spaniard bagged another assist, teeing up Emil Riis for one of his two goals in an impressive 3-2 win at Carrow Road. Fernandez has made the left wing-back position his own and is growing game by game.
Ethan Galbraith
The Northern Ireland youngster scored only the second senior goal of his career as Salford City beat Northampton 1-0. The 21-year-old applied a side-footed finish on the stroke of half-time to move the Ammies up to fourth in League Two.
Matej Kovar
Goalkeeper Kovar kept his first clean sheet for Sparta Prague as they swept aside FC Zbrojovka Brno 4-0 on Saturday. Kovar, 22, is yet to taste defeat since joining the Czech side last month.
