Midfielder Hamit Altintop has been included in Real Madrid's squad for the first time since his arrival from Bayern Munich.

The 28-year-old Altintop could make his club debut during Tuesday's Champions League game against Ajax. The Turkey international had been recovering from back surgery he underwent after joining Madrid from the German club.

Madrid will be without the injured Pepe and Fabio Coentrao and the suspended Marcelo against Ajax.

Madrid leads Group D with three points, followed by Ajax and Lyon with one point each.

In France, Lyon will try to improve an attack that provided only one shot on goal in its group opener.

Lyon will be without Argentine striker Lisandro Lopez (ankle) and defensive specialist Cris (leg) as it vies to reach the knockout stage for a ninth consecutive year.

Dinamo midfielder Milan Badelj said Lyon was a strong team but still believes his team can get an important away victory.
