Martin Odegaard is also a doubt for Thursday’s quarter-final second leg due to an ankle injury
Asked if they will train on Wednesday, he replied: ‘It depends how they wake up.
‘Yesterday none of them could train. Hopefully today it is a sunnier day so maybe it is better.
‘I don’t know, we have to see today how they are. We still have a couple of other ones as well from the last few days, so we’ll have to see how everybody is today and after training how they react for tomorrow’s game.’
