After several days without playing due to the events in Marseille, Olympique Lyonnais returns to competition this Sunday at Groupama Stadium. Les Gones host FC Metz in a match counting for the 11th day of Ligue 1.
18th in the standings and bottom of the championship, Les Gones have no room for error and must absolutely get their act together to avoid making the situation worse on an accounting level. A success would allow them to give themselves a little breathing room and perhaps take 17th place.
For this meeting and in order to put all the chances on his side, Fabio Grosso made a strong decision concerning his attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki.
Not called up in the group for the trip to the Stade Velodrome last weekend, the French junior international finally makes his return to the Italian technician’s group.

A strong and important decision on the part of the 2006 world champion. It remains to be seen whether the number 10 of the Bleuets will be lined up from the kick-off by his coach.
Note that the French striker is still silent in nine L1 matches this season. The trigger this Sunday against Messins? All the people of Lyon hope so…
