Lyon and Nice face each other at the opening of the 22nd day of Ligue 1, this Friday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for OL.
A positive dynamic to maintain, reinforcements to integrate and absences to deplore: it is with this busy table that Pierre Sage approaches the next deadlines for Olympique Lyonnais. While his team has regained its health on the national scene, the French technician hopes to confirm this progress in a new full-scale test, against OGC Nice, runner-up to PSG.
For this meeting, Sage will however have to deal with several absences of marks. While Lepenant and Henrique are still in the infirmary, Olympique Lyonnais will also have to do without Tolisso, on the sidelines since last week, and O’Birne, suspended.
Sage retouches his eleven
It is therefore with a still well-remodeled eleven that Olympique Lyonnais should approach this clash between two strongholds of French football. Pierre Sage should rely on a large number of winter reinforcements. Benhrama, but also Orban Mangala or Matic are expected to start this match.
OL will also be able to count on its historic executives, including Alexandre Lacazette, in very good shape at the start of 2024. Tagliafico should also start, just like Caleta-Car. Lopes will hold his place in the Lyon goals.
The expected composition for Lyon : Lopes – Tagliafico, Mata, Caleta-Car, Maitland-Niles – Matic, Caqueret, Mangala – Nuamah, Lacazette, Benrahma.
