Alexandre Lacazette and Duje Caleta-Car (OL) @UEFA
This Tuesday afternoon, OL headed to Azerbaijan to face Qarabag. Here is the group of 23 players selected by Pierre Sage for this 5th day of the Europa League.
Early departure on the road, equally early announcement of the group. This Tuesday afternoon, theOL flew to Azerbaijan forty-eight hours before his meeting against Karabagh (Thursday, 6:45 p.m.). On the shores of the Caspian Sea, the players of Pierre Sage will try to get closer to qualifying, whether for the play-offs or to directly integrate the top 8 of this classification phase of the Europa League. Given the importance of this European meeting, the Lyon coach must also juggle Ligue 1 which will be on the program from Sunday (5 p.m.) againstOGC Nice.
The choice was therefore made not to blow some away by avoiding a long journey but to bring everyone to Azerbaijan. Well, not everyone since Gift OrbanWilfried Zaha and Mahamadou Diawara have not received an invitation for this trip. This is not the case for Duje Caleta-Car and Nicholas Tagliaficoback in the group after a little rest against Reims.
The OL group at Qarabag: Bengui, Descamps, Perri – Abner, Caleta-Car, Kumbedi, Mata, Niakhaté, Omari, Tagliafico – Caqueret, Maitland-Niles, Matic, Tessmann, Tolisso, Veretout – Benrahma, Cherki, Fofana, Lacazette, Mikautadze, Molebe, Nuamah
