Olympique Lyonnais welcomes Clermont this Sunday, at the end of the 9th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Rhone club.

It would have been difficult to imagine such a photographer before the start of this 2023-24 campaign, a few months ago – and yet: the Lyon-Clermont match will pit the two least successful teams in the standings, this Sunday evening, in closing of the 9th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).

Still stuck in penultimate place, OL are looking for their first victory. With which eleven? The Cherki case continues to fuel debate. Substitute in the last match against Lorient before the break (3-3), the international Espoirs blazed with the Bleuets, being involved in 8 of the 9 goals scored during the historic success against Cyprus. Enough to regain a starting place in a club?

Fabio Grosso left doubt in front of the press before this match. “There are others that I use even less. He has extraordinary potential. Everyone wants to turn potential into reality, into consistency. He has destiny in his hands because God has given him incredible qualities, but he can progress. I liked how he came on ten minutes at the end of the match on Sunday with a great state of mind. And if he can keep this consistency for more than ten minutes, he’s going to be a tremendous player in the future. »

If uncertainty therefore persists for Cherki, the other usual executives are expected at the start of this match. From captain Lacazette to Lopes, via Lovren, Tagliafico or Caqueret, OL should rely on their strong links to finally unlock their score.
