Burak Yilmaz - Gets rested midweek Yilmaz played 10 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Yilmaz was rested on a short week here after scoring his first goal since September over the weekend. The veteran does get his occasional breaks from play but will surely return to the XI for the next match. He's mounted one goal, one assist, 11 shots (four on target) and 12 crosses over his past four starts alone.

Botman Sven - Starting Wednesday Botman (groin) will be in the starting XI versus Rennes on Wednesday.

Impact Botman returns to the starting XI for the first time since Oct. 3 against Marseille, a stretch of nine games on the sidelined. Given his limited offensive upside, the central defender is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward.

Gabriel Gudmundsson - Could feature versus Rennes Gudmundsson (muscle) was named in the 20-man squad for Wednesday's match versus Rennes.

Impact Gudmundsson was out just briefly with a minor issue and could be ready for a start here though he'll be facing a ton of competition at left-back. Zeki Celik is missing on the right side but it's unclear if the former will be able to play opposite from his natural spot.

Botman Sven - Probable for Rennes clash Botman (groin) was named in the 20-man squad for Wednesday's match versus Rennes.

Impact Botman makes his return to the squad after missing nearly two months. He may have to be recalled to the starting XI immediately though as Tiago Djalo may have to slide to the right side in place of suspended Zeki Celik unless one of the three left-backs of the club can slide to the right-back spot.

Zeki Celik - Suspended for Rennes clash Celik is suspended for Wednesday's match versus Rennes.

Impact Celik's absence will be a massive loss here versus the in-form Rennes, especially given that his natural replacement is also needed at center-back. Sven Botman however is back in action and if he's ready to start than Tiago Djalo will slide easily to the right side.
