Etrit Berisha returns to take the gloves in Europe, while Stefan Radu and Wesley Hoedt are back in defence.

With Stefan de Vrij, Antonio Candreva, Miroslav Klose and Filip Djordjevic injured, Stefano Mauri is employed as a False Nine with support from youngsters Felipe Anderson, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Keita Balde Diao.

Saint-Etienne are stalemate specialists, holding Rosenborg 2-2 in the Group G opener.

It was no surprise, as they also drew their first five fixtures in last season’s Europa League.

The French squad includes a familiar name, as Florentin Pogba is the brother of Juventus star Paul, but he is out injured along with Jonathan Brison and key midfielder Jeremy Clement.
