The Serie A champions, who can reach the last 16 thanks to a superior head-to-head record with Group B rivals Famagusta, will be without Adriano after the striker was again left out by coach Jose Mourinho because of several incidents of indiscipline.

The Brazilian scored the winner in Inter's 1-0 home victory over the Cypriots last time out when rivals Werder Bremen and Panathinaikos, who meet again in Germany later, drew 2-2.

Barca, who won 5-0 at point-less Basel two weeks ago, will go through with a victory over the Swiss club and 12 points from four matches unless Shakhtar Donetsk win at Sporting Lisbon in the other Group C game.

Group A leaders Chelsea, last season's beaten finalists, travel to struggling AS Roma knowing three points will seal their progress if second-placed CFR Cluj defeat Girondins Bordeaux in Romania.
