AS Saint-Étienne and Olivier Dall'Oglio have just announced the group of 21 players who will travel to Lyon this Sunday evening, 8:45 p.m., to face Olympique Lyonnais.

As announced at a pre-match press conference the day before, the Saint-Etienne technician can count on the return of two players: Pierre Cornud and Ibrahima Wadji whose prediction of a goal in the derby in the manner of his achievement against Metz, is gaining momentum among Saint-Etienne supporters. It is a group of 21 players which finally goes to Lyon with three goalkeepers and therefore the presence of Tourécertainly to prevent possible injury to Larsonneurhaving cut short his training session this morning following a poor reception.

However, it is still too early for the Greens to record the return of Thomas Monconduit or that of Anthony Briançon. Ben Old is still announced as absent after his knee operation for several months. Finally, Mathieu Cafaro is suspended after an accumulation of yellow cards.

Olivier Dall'Oglio: “Ben Old is still in a splint for a while, we know that it will last a long time. Anthony Briançon has resumed racing for several days, it is going well, Thomas Monconduit we are taking it slowly, these are the boys who are on the comeback gradually.

We recorded the return of Ibrahima Wadji, he did a full week but also Pierre Cornud who did a full week without problem. For Cornud as for Wadji it's good, they lack playing time but it will come little by little. Physically, they are good. They are applying for a place in the group, there will be more thought tomorrow about that. Finally, Louis Mouton was spared at the start of the week after a blow to the hip received against Strasbourg, he resumed training this morning (Friday) without problem.”
