Olympique Lyonnais are facing a defensive crisis ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League match at ACF Fiorentina after Anthony Réveillère suffered suspected knee ligament damage during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain FC.

Missing quintet 
The French international full-back was carried off with just 12 minutes played at the Parc des Princes following a collision with Stéphane Sessègnon. Réveillère will undergo further tests on Sunday to determine the full extent of the injury, although Claude Puel could be without five defenders for the Group F fixture in Italy. François Clerc, Fabio Grosso and Mathieu Bodmer are all sidelined through injury, while John Mensah has yet to regain full fitness following a groin problem despite making the bench against PSG. Highly-rated 17-year-old Thimothée Kolodziecziak, who made his Ligue 1 debut when replacing Réveillère, may be handed his first UEFA Champions League appearance as Lyon attempt to secure a spot in the first knockout round.
