Two days before the trip to Le Havre, Nemanja Matic touched the ball individually. Pierre Sage, however, tempered hopes of seeing the Serb present in Normandy on Sunday.
The returns are made “drop by drop” and the staff of theOL must juggle these internationals who have returned from selection, tired by matches and travel for some. However, Pierre’s workforce Sage should be substantial for the trip to Le Havre on Sunday (3 p.m.). The only uncertainty for the moment is the presence or not of Nemanja Matic in Normandy. Having “I blocked him two” against the Rangersthe Serbian has since followed a specialized protocol and “It’s much better”. However, we were able to see him touch the ball again this Friday, alone on his side. What suggests a return to the Lyon group? Rock Sage preferred to play the caution card. “Everyone is training, Nemanja Matic should be fair, but an inventory will be done tomorrow (Saturday).”
Caleta-Car, the only one absent at the moment
With the receipt of Besiktas next Thursday then that ofALSO Auxerrethree days later, we are entitled to think that the OL staff will not take any risks with their midfielder. Besides that, it’s all hands on deck, except Duje Caleta-Carsuspended and absent from the session this Friday. A blessing in disguise, according to his trainer, who sees an opportunity for the Croatian to take a breather. “We would obviously have preferred to have him, but I am happy that he is suspended. He will be able to cut back a little because he has played all the matches with us since the start of the season and a lot of minutes with his selection”.
