If he annoyed John Textor with his turnover at Hoffenheim before the derby, Pierre Sage did not plan to be in management this evening during Qarabag – OL.
Yesterday, at a press conference, Pierre Sage announced “less rotation than usual” for the trip to Baku. This is indeed the trend announced by L'Equipe with the only returns of Nicolas Tagliafico and Duje Caleta-Car, spared in Reims on Saturday (1-1) due to their heavy playing time in the selection, and that of Malick Fofana in the eleventh.
The probable line-up for OL against Qarabag: Perri – Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Veretout, Matic, Tolisso – Cherki, Lacazette (cap.), Mal.Fofana.
No calculation before OGC Nice, really?
On the other hand, if the scenario of the match is favorable to him, it is not impossible that the Rhone coach brings in Georges Mikautadze or Saïd Benrahma a little more quickly in order to give some breathing space to his most sought-after offensive players for the future.
As a reminder, OL play again this Sunday (5 p.m.) against Nice after a 5-hour flight overnight and a 3-hour time difference compared to Azerbaijan. Not easy for good recovery.
