Team’s Up – Marco Silva names Benfica XI for Celtic clash

Benfica manager Marco Silva has named his team for this evening’s UEFA Europa League clash against Celtic. The former Fulham manager moved to Lisbon in the summer, filling the vacancy left by Jose Mourinho.

Silva’s side are one of the favourites for the UEL and sit second behind Porto in the Portuguese league. Here is how they line up tonight…

Subs: Soares, Circati, Pavlidis, Manu Silva, Barreiro, Schjelderup, Rafa Silva, Echeverri, Indio, El Karouani, Cabral, Freitas.

Martin O’Neill has named his team for the game with the Auston Trusty and Oliver Sorensen coming into the team for Liam Scales and Benji Nygren, who drop to the bench.

Celtic: Sinisalo, Donovan, Murray, Trusty, Tierney, McGregor, Baur, Sorenson, Duran, Hogh, Tounekti.

Subs: Johnstone, Lotomba, Scales, Nygren, McCowan, Osmand, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hassan, Forrest, Ralston, Kennedy, Clearie.

Celtic can call upon Callum Osmand, who returns from an ankle injury. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Yang are sidelined while Jota is not on the European squad list for Celtic.

Celtic will be hoping for a result as they look to get off the mark in the Europa League.
