Team News: Brazilian midfielder Bernard starts for Shakhtar Donetsk against Malmo

Bernard starts for Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League tie against Malmo as manager Mircea Lucescu makes three changes from the side that lost 3-0 at home to Paris Saint-Germain, while the Swedish side shows one alteration.

The Brazilian attacking midfielder only made the bench for the Ukrainian side's defeat to PSG in their last Champions League outing.

Bernard's compatriot Ismaily comes in at left-back while Taras Stepanenko earns a start in the midfield double-pivot alongside Fred.

Age Hareide makes just one change to the lineup that lost 2-0 at home to Real Madrid, with Pa Konate beginning at full-back in place of Yoshimar Yotun who fails to make the bench.
