Baros and Toulalan out of Lyon squad

November 06, 2007 20:37 IST

Olympique Lyon midfielder Jeremy Toulalan and striker Milan Baros have been left out of the squad to face VfB Stuttgart in a Champions League Group E match on Wednesday.

Czech Baros is suffering from a groin injury while France's Toulalan has a knee injury.

"Jeremy had an scan that showed the tendon had not healed yet. He won't be in the squad and Milan won't be included either," coach Alain Perrin told the club's Web site (www.olweb.fr)

Perrin said midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa, who picked up an ankle injury in last week's 3-1 victory at Caen in the League Cup, would take a fitness test later on Tuesday.

Six-times French champions Lyon are third in Group E with three points from three matches while German champions VfB have lost their three opening games.
