OL players training in Divonne-les-Bains (credit: David Hernandez)
Returning very early to Lyon after their trip to Azerbaijan, the OL players will not train this Friday. A slight cleaning took place, before giving way to recovery.
We knew that this week was bound to be special for OL. A trip to the very east or almost of Europe to play the Europa League, then a Ligue 1 match late Sunday afternoon, required an adaptation. Back very early this Friday morning in Lyon, Pierre's group Sage immediately proceeded with a little cleaning as soon as he arrived in Décines. The staff members and footballers were then able to return home for a well-deserved rest before the weekend.
“The priority will be to ensure good recovery“
No training this Friday. Only Peter Sage will be invited to speak to the media as is customary two days before a Ligue 1 match. Because yes, on December 1 at 5 p.m., Olympique Lyonnais will have to do it again, with the Nice reception for the 13th day of the championship. “The priority will be to ensure good recovery for the players, by rehydrating them and providing them with suitable products, confided the Rhone coach. I tend to think that doing too much can be harmful, you have to know how to stay measured.”
Corentin's teammates Tolisso4-1 winners against Qarabag, started the process, with success being the best way to recover from such a journey. They will return on Saturday for a final session before the duel against the Nice. Little time to work, a fact which had greatly irritated the club when this game was scheduled.
