Wilfried Zaha during his first training session with OL (@OL)
This Tuesday, OL players headed to Azerbaijan to prepare for their match against Qarabag on Thursday evening (6:45 p.m.). Gift Orban and Wilfried Zaha did not make the trip.
A little more than two days before the meeting, the players of theOL headed towards Azerbaijan. In order to limit as much as possible the fatigue linked to plane travel and jet lag, Pierre Sage and his staff chose to leave for Baku this Tuesday at the beginning of the afternoon. The 23 Lyonnais summoned therefore presented themselves at Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport after a session carried out during the morning. Departure is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. with a local arrival around 10 p.m. However, not everyone made the trip. To the question of whether Pierre Sage was going to rest certain players in preparation for the Nice reception next Sunday, the answer is no.
Caleta-Car returns
Executives like Alexandre Lacazette ou Nemanja Matic have taken the direction of Azerbaijan, it remains to be seen whether they will start on Thursday evening or not. Once again spared from injuries and other suspensions, the Lyon coach had to make choices and left three players on the floor. According to our colleagues at ProgressGift Orban, Wilfried Zaha and Mahamadou Diawara remained in Lyon, unlike Enzo A leechwhich leads to a new call-up to the Europa League. Housed in Reims, Nicolas Tagliafico and Duje Caleta-Car are logically the long journey that awaits OL.
