Europa League Parlay Picks for Thursday, November 5, 2026

- Mike Maignan — AC Milan — out: suspended after his red card vs Bournemouth; Milan also have Tomori, Chukwueze, Gabbia, Saelemaekers and Loftus-Cheek out, so the spine is heavily disrupted. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Máté Bero — Ferencváros TC — out: absent for the trip to San Siro, which trims their midfield depth against a Milan side likely to rotate. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Kilian Sardella — Anderlecht — out: one of three confirmed defensive absentees, which weakens Anderlecht’s back line against Salzburg. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Ilay Camara — Anderlecht — out: another injury loss for Anderlecht, adding to the defensive shortage. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Lucas Hey — Anderlecht — out: ruled out as well, leaving Anderlecht thin at the back. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Marten Winkler — Anderlecht — questionable: an injury concern after missing the weekend win, so Anderlecht’s wide options are still unclear. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Chadi Riad — Crystal Palace — out: Palace remain without him, plus Ismaïla Sarr and Takehiro Tomiyasu, which hurts their defensive and attacking balance. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Ismaïla Sarr — Crystal Palace — out: groin injury; Palace miss a direct threat in transition. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Takehiro Tomiyasu — Crystal Palace — out: calf injury; another defensive absence that matters if Hoffenheim press high. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Jörgen Strand Larsen — Crystal Palace — questionable: could make the squad after an ankle issue, which would give Palace a much-needed attacking option. (sportsmole.co.uk)
- Quinten Timber — Crystal Palace — questionable: may also be fit to return, which would help Palace’s midfield control. (sportsmole.co.uk)
