Bad news confirmed for OL, who will have to do without the services of Alexandre Lacazette on Saturday against Lorient.

Pierre Sage’s pessimism was therefore justified. The OL coach, who had given himself very little chance of being able to count on Alexandre Lacazette against Lorient, Saturday afternoon on the Moustoir pitch (5 p.m.), had to resolve to leave him at rest for this match of the 25e day of Ligue 1.

According to The Team, the French striker did not board Friday with his teammates, who headed for Brittany. He will miss a second consecutive match in the league, after last weekend’s match at Groupama Stadium, against Lens, which ended in a heavy defeat (0-3).

Lacazette scores 48% of OL’s goals

Author of 12 goals in 20 Ligue 1 matches this season, the Gones captain is still suffering from the big crutch he received on his left thigh against Strasbourg ten days ago in the Coupe de France. It was to avoid the risk of aggravating his injury that the Rhone staff decided to take it easy.

With what offensive animation will OL present themselves against the Merlus? The Nuamah-Orban-Benrahma trio did not particularly shine last Sunday against the Sang et Or, which could push Pierre Sage to review his copy. Knowing that without their best director, the Lyonnais are often lost.

As the account points out Football Stats on elite since the start of the financial year (12/25). No other player in the championship does better.
