I felt terrible that I wasn't able to put up a real match preview last night, but now that I think about it, it wouldn't be much different from the Lyon vs. Beşiktaş preview. No significant news coming out of the OL camp except that Lisandro Lopez and Cesar Delgado will remain on the sidelines (Puel doesn't want to risk their healing bodies on a friendly), and Jean-Alain Boumsong will also be getting rest.

For me, the biggest surprise was Anthony Mounier.
