Olympique Lyonnais remain without many of their key players as they travel to face Stade Brestois. Jorge Maciel remains in charge of Lyon, following Paulo Fonseca’s departure earlier in the week.
Maciel, the former assistant, has stepped into an interim role. He also did so against Real Sociedad in midweek, with Carlos Vicens expected to come in and take his place during the international break. The Portuguese coach doesn’t have to contend with any major new absences, but he remains without the likes of Tyler Morton, Lois Openda, and Pavel Sulc, whilst Rémi Himbert misses out through illness.
A lack of options could see Ernest Nuamah picked as the No.9. Khalis Merah may, therefore, have to settle for a place on the bench for Les Gones.
Lyon likely line-up v BrestDominik Greif; Abner, Moussa Niakhaté, Felix Bacher, Zachary Athekame; Corentin Tolisso, Tanner Tessmann, Mads Bidstrup; Keito Nakamura, Ernest Nuamah, Julien Duranville. (L’Éq)
