The second leg of the UEFA Europa League Round 32 will kick off in Istanbul Thursday, with the Turkish team, Besiktas, looking for a win against England's Liverpool.

Besiktas will host Liverpool at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium. The clash will start at 19:00 CET (1800 GMT).

The English team said on its website that their English midfielder Jordan Henderson, defender Glen Johnson and French center-back Mamadou Sakho had been sidelined because of illness and injuries. Meanwhile, The Reds' Serbian winger, Lazar Markovic, was suspended for the match.

Besiktas might also lack many regulars in the game, including its two suspended players, Brazilian left-back Ramon Motta and Turkish center-back Ersan Gulum. Additionally, Black Eagles' Turkish striker Cenk Tosun, left-back Ismail Koybasi and goalkeeper Tolga Zengin were suffering from injuries.

Liverpool barely won the first leg, 1-0, at Anfield.

Another Turkish club Trabzonspor will play away to Italy's Napoli. Trabzonspor have little chance to advance to the next round since they lost the first match, 4-0, in Turkey.

The game at Stadio San Paolo, Naples, will begin at 21:05 CET (2005 GMT).

Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne will be missing the match because of knee injury, while Italian club's Slovakian star Marek Hamsik is doubtful.

Trabzonspor's Ghanaian forward Majeed Waris, Algerian defender Essaid Belkalem and Malian striker Mustapha Yatabare are all sidelined because of injury problems, in addition to Turkish team's Portuguese defender Jose Bosingwa, who is also doubtful.
