Center forward Alexandre Lacazette, captain of Olympique Lyonnais, will not play on Sunday evening against Racing club Lens.

OL-Lens, the closing poster for the 24th day of Ligue 1, will compete without Alexandre Lacazette. The Lyon center forward and captain is not in the group selected by coach Pierre Sage among the 21 players.

The second director of the Championship this season (12 goals) behind Kylian Mbappé (21 – PSG) had been spared since the meeting of Coupe de France against Strasbourg (0-0, 4 tab to 3) during which he left his place in the 66th minute of play.
