The time is for the festivities on the side of Olympique Lyonnais Female, recently renamed Ol Lyonnes. The Rhone club, which has just won its 18th title of French champion in Arkema Première League, also celebrated the union of two of its players, Daniëlle Van de Donk and Ellie Carpenter.
Dutch midfielder (33) and the Australian defender (25) met in Lyon, whom they joined respectively in 2021 from Arsenal, and a year earlier after a season in Melbourne. It was together that they notably won the Champions League in 2022.
A future far from OL?
Eighteen months after their engagement, the two players announced their marriage Thursday on Instagram. “” I choose you, I will always choose you“, She said, receiving the congratulations from several teammates and the former president of OL, Jean-Michel Aulas:” You are superb and happy, I am proud of you.“”
It remains to be seen whether they will still play under the same jersey next season. If Ellie Carpentier is still under contract at OL Lyonnes, Daniëlle Van de Donk is free and has not been extended. His wife will therefore have to be transferred to the same club as they stay together.
