Fenerbahçe boss Vitor Pereira has decided to leave Robin van Persie on the bench for the second game running in the Champions League play-off second-leg tie against Shakhtar Donetsk at the Arena Lviv stadium.

The former United star is not 100 percent match-fit and is expected to make a second half appearances.

The Yellow Canaries other ex United player Luis Nani will however, start for Fenerbahçe.

Pereira will start with the same line-up as the previous game with the only exception being Şener Özbayraklı replacing Hasan Ali Kaldırım as right-back and Portuguese international Raul Meireles starting ahead of Mehmet Topal.

Fenerbahçe need a score draw or a win against Shakhtar to progress to the final play-off round.
