Tuesday, September 2, 2003

Olympique Lyonnais will kick off their UEFA Champions League campaign without captain Claudio Caçapa.

'Four to six weeks'
The Brazilian could be missing for up to six weeks with the injury, which he suffered during the French champions' 2-0 defeat at EA Guingamp on Saturday. He limped out of the action after 69 minutes and a club statement confirmed that: "He will be out for four to six weeks."

Opening fixtures
In this case, the 27-year-old Caçapa will miss the Group A matches against RSC Anderlecht on 17 September and Celtic FC on 30 September.
