This Thursday evening, Olympique Lyonnais faces Eintracht Frankfurt as part of the 6th day of the Europa League.

Seventh in the standings with 10 points on the clock, Les Gones can secure their place in the play-offs and take a big step towards direct qualification for the round of 16 if they succeed against the Germans.

Present at a press conference this Wednesday, Rayan Cherki is pumped up. The young Frenchman also forms a formidable trio with Alexandre Lacazette and Malick Fofana. The Gones attacking midfielder also took the opportunity to send nice words to his young teammate.

“Malick Fofana?” I like everything about him, he’s good, kind, not very handsome (laughs) but who cares. He brings us his explosiveness. We tell him to go into spaces because we can give him the ball and he can hurt. He has integrated well and is not afraid of much,” he told journalists.

Which starting 11 against Frankfurt?

What will be the starting 11 aligned by Pierre Sage this Thursday in this 6th day of the Europa League? The French coach should field a competitive team but also pay attention to certain players in view of the weekend’s shock in Ligue 1 against Paris Saint-Germain for the 15th day.

Here is OL’s probable 11: Perri – Mata, Niakhaté, Caleta-Car, Tagliafico (cap.) – Veretout, Tessmann, Tolisso – Cherki, Mikautadze, M. Fofana
