Lyon travels to Rennes for a crucial match this Sunday, as part of the 12th day of Ligue 1 (5:05 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Rhone club.

This time, Lyon no longer has a joker. It has even been a while since this observation was made in the club environment. Red lantern in Ligue 1, OL have still not unlocked their victory counter this season. And if Rennes was not at a standstill in the championship, this trip to Brittany would be a new trap for Les Gones.

In this context, Fabio Grosso’s choices will still be watched. With one question pending, the same every week: how will the Italian technician manage the talented Rayan Cherki? “We have an important player, he’s a special player to use. It’s Rayan (Cherki), he feels comfortable as soon as we’re in the game, so not necessarily with a 4-3-3. He’s a player who has qualities but I always say that we want to try to improve him because he has to find his place. Even when he is in ten, he must try to help the team. »

“It’s not easy to answer because in the clubs before they told me that I was too rigid and now they accuse me of changing too much, Grosso continued. We have not yet found the right solution but we will have to work and have clearer ideas about what we are putting in place. Before I often played my team in 4-3-3. Here we have a team made up of players who are not easy to put together.”

If Grosso has therefore maintained doubt for Cherki, the other executives are expected, provided that the 4-3-3 is well used. Lacazette, Caqueret, Tagliafico and Lopes will have a very important role, in Brittany, this Sunday afternoon, in what is akin to the last chance match.
The expected line-up for OL : Lopes – Kumbedi, Diomandé, Lovren, O’Brien, Taglifico – Caqueret, Alvero, Tolisso – Lacazette, Nuamah.
