Lyon have received a massive boost by being able to name Malick Fofana in their travelling squad for Manchester.
The French side head into the Europa League quarter-final second leg at Old Trafford with the tie in the balance, after a 2-2 draw last week.
Fofana, a highly rated Belgium international, has hit 10 goals for Les Gones this term, including six in Europe, but suffered a knee injury against Le Havre a month ago.
However, he has trained in advance of the 20:00 BST kick-off, and is part of the group flying to the north west of England.
Ghana international Ernest Nuamah is still absent, though, after undergoing surgery on an anterior-cruciate knee problem.
Young striker Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez has not made the trip, despite being in a Europa League matchday squad for the first time last Thursday.
Former Reds midfielder Nemanja Matic is included, after being an unused substitute in the first leg, as a 21-man squad is available for coach Paulo Fonseca to choose from.
LYON’S 21-MAN SQUAD
Lucas Perri, Remy Descamps, Lassine Diarra; Vinicius Abner, Duje Caleta-Car, Sael Kumbedi, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Warmed Omari, Nicolas Tagliafico; Paul Akouokou, Thiago Almada, Nemanja Matic, Tanner Tessmann, Corentin Tolisso, Jordan Veretout; Rayan Cherki, Malick Fofana, Alexandre Lacazette, Georges Mikautadze.
