Alonso's men will take on Häcken on Thursday at the Bay Arena to kick off their Europa League campaign with the aim of going a step further after reaching the semi-finals of the tournament last term.
Patrik Schick, Noah Mbamba and Arthur will miss the game due to injuries, meanwhile, Josip Stanišić and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are doubts as they face a race against time to be fit, but Nigeria's Boniface will be aiming to solidify his trust under his Spaniard boss by firing his team to victory.
