Hard blow. On the eve of the match between Olympique Lyonnais and FC Basel (Thursday, 6:45 p.m.) in the Europa League, Paulo Fonseca will be without one of his attackers. And this until next January. The fault lies in an error made by UEFA during its registration.
However, the latter had participated in the victory of his team on the first day against Utrecht (0-1) by being decisive. Coming into play in the 65th minute, the winger delivered the pass on Tanner Tessmann's magnificent strike ten minutes later (75th), thus ensuring Lyon's success.
A “regulation clarification”
This is Rachid Ghezzal. Landed at the beginning of September as a free player, the man who worked with OL between 2012 and 2017 will be absent from the C3 group until next January, according to The Team. Date on which the group stage ends. All following a “regulation clarification” issued by the European governing body, which should not have authorized the registration of the Algerian beyond September 1. An absence which adds to those of Ernest Nuamah and Orel Mangala for the reception of the Swiss.
