Top-of-the-table duel this Sunday at Groupama Stadium as Olympique Lyonnais hosts Paris Saint-Germain (8:45 p.m.), as part of the twelfth day of Ligue 1. The two teams are only separated by four points and Les Gones would like to try to achieve a little something at home against the leader. Not easy, especially since Corentin Tolisso is not at his best.

The French international was already not in the game on Thursday evening, during OL’s defeat at Real Betis (2-0, 4th day of the Europa League). Preserved by his trainer, he suffered from his right hamstring. This Saturday, Paulo Fonseca gave news of his player. And even if the latter trained normally in the morning, optimism was not completely in order.

“Today’s training was a bit tactical, without intensity. We will see with the player if he is ready for tomorrow (Sunday)but I have doubts. It’s very risky to play him. I don’t want to risk losing ‘Coco’ for the next matches. »

Fonseca will take stock with Tolisso

Repeating himself several times, Paulo Fonseca expressed his fears of playing Corentin Tolisso against Paris.
“There is really a risk in playing him. »
Bluff or not, the coach has indeed included his midfielder in the list of players called up for the match.

Having a relatively limited workforce, Paulo Fonseca will therefore have to decide, after consultation with the first person concerned. He will also have to deprive himself of the services of Paval Sulc, injured in his hamstrings. Whether at OL or PSG, injuries accumulate.
