Axel Tape - On bench against Olympiacos Tape (undisclosed) is on the bench in Tuesday's game versus Olympiacos.

Impact Tape is an option as expected following his return to full training earlier in the week. He has logged only 13 minutes of play since Oct. 1, so he may continue to play a substitute role while he makes a gradual return from the injury. Tuesday's starter Lucas Vazquez could see his playing time reduced if Tape is used on the right flank as he did in his last few appearances.

Exequiel Palacios - Could be available Tuesday Palacios (groin) was spotted training in full with the team ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Olympiacos, making him a possible option for the game, the club posted...

Impact Palacios returned to full team training on Monday and could be available again for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Olympiacos. This is great news for the Werkself since Palacios has been a regular starter for the club for several seasons, and his imminent return will provide a boost in midfield both tactically and physically, as well as on set-pieces, given that Palacios was taking some corners, penalties and free-kicks prior to his injury.

Impact Tape trained in full on Monday ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Olympiacos and is an option again for the Werkself after recovering from his injury. Tape missed the last two games due to the issue but now seems fit to return and will likely claim back his bench role moving forward under coach Kasper Hjulmand.
