After the long journey back to France, the OL players shifted to preparing for the match against Nice. Everyone is suitable, said Pierre Sage.
Several good news for Olympique Lyonnais after the meeting in Azerbaijan against Qarabag. First, the victory, which puts him back in the top 8 in the Europa League. Second, the score (1-4), which gave confidence to several elements, including Georges Mikautadzeauthor of a double. Then, no injuries were reported during this display on the OL side.
This is why Pierre Sage could have a smile this Friday. After a little rest, even though a clean-up took place early this morning, he presented himself in front of the journalists in the afternoon. “The return went well, the travel conditions were good. The players did the recovery work when they arrived, explains the coach. We tried to optimize to be ready on Sunday.”
“We will field a very competitive 11”
The question of recovery was addressed, while this data will be crucial in view of the 13th day of Ligue 1, which will see the Rhone host Nice at 5 p.m. on Sunday. “The fact of having spared certain boys and of having allowed others to express themselves is a very good thing. We return to Lyon with 100% of our squad, rejoices the Jura coach. The guys will surely arrive tired for tomorrow's session (SATURDAY) and our role will be to carefully analyze the state of freshness of the players and field a very competitive eleven, also knowing that we have five changes.” We can therefore expect to see Moussa debut NiakharéClinton EyeNemanja MaticCorentin Tolisso or even Alexandre Lacazetteall of whom played little or not on Thursday.
