A perilous trip awaits Olympique Lyonnais this Thursday, January 23. In bad shape in recent weeks, as evidenced by its elimination in the Coupe de France by Bourgoin-Jallieu (National 3) or its performances against Montpellier, Brest and Toulouse in the championship, the Rhone club goes to Istanbul to challenge Fenerbahçe as part of the 7th day of the Europa League (6:45 p.m.). Fourth in the general ranking of the competition (13 pts), OL can, in the event of a victory and favorable scenarios on the other pitches, validate its direct qualification for the round of 16. An outcome which would necessarily do good for the minds of Pierre Sage's men, who however risk being buzzing this Thursday evening. In the heated Istanbul atmosphere, the Gones will have to do without Tagliafico, suspended, and Maitland-Niles, ill. On the Turkish side, coach José Mourinho, whose team is in twenty-second place (8 pts), will do without Müldür (suspended), Livakovic, Yüksek, Becao, Oosterwolde and the Frenchman Alan Saint-Maximin (injured) are absent. Discover the official lineups for the clash below.
