After going through all states on Thursday evening, in Manchester, theOlympique Lyonnais immerses herself in his domestic jousts. And it may be the best thing. The cruel scenario of Old Trafford could be a glass eclipsed by a success in a derby always so bubbling against the Stéphanois enemy.
“Players demobilized in L1?” I think it's going to be rather the opposite, launched Paulo Fonseca. We showed our qualities. We have to learn from this match and remain positive, get from it positive. We will recover now, this is the main thing, to face Saint-Etienne on Sunday. But on the contrary, this match proved that we could have a very good end of the season. You have to recover physically and mentally. We are sad, but we have proven our quality, I am optimistic for the future ”.
Paulo Fonseca, OL coach.
It remains to be seen with which starting eleven OL will address this derby. The bad news of this weekend concerns Perri, forfeit for this important match. The number 1 porter of Lyon should be replaced in the goals by its Descamps lining.
Lacazette holder?
The other big question concerns the attack, where Alexandre Lacazette applies after having so often shone in this poster. If the captain is aligned from the outset, Georges Mikautadze will be shifted on the left side. Otherwise, the Georgian will occupy the point of the attack.
For the rest, all the Lyon frames are expected to continue. All eyes will notably be on Rayan Cherki and Corentin Tolisso, two men in shape who have been carrying OL for many weeks.
The expected composition for Lyon : Descamps-Kumbedi, Caleta-Cara, Niakhaté, Abner-Veretout, Tessmann, Tolisso-Cherki, Lacazette (C), Mikautadze.
