For the first time in a long time, if not always, we had not been aware of the group summoned by Bruno Genesio for this summit match against Lyon. Perhaps the reason is to be found in the absence of André Gomes, not in the group this evening.
Few solutions on the bench
The Portuguese midfielder, whose reasons for his absence are currently unknown, will be replaced by Nga Mukau. For the rest, it is a composition that could be expected, given the absentees, with 7 injured and one suspended (Alexsandro). Mandi will start in the central hinge with Diakité. Sahraoui, Angel Gomes and Zhegrova will support Jonathan David. Obviously, solutions on the bench will be rare for Bruno Genesio.
On the Lyon side, only one surprise, the tenure of Caleta-Car in central defense. Up front, we find the best Lyon trio of the moment, Fofana-Lacazette-Cherki.
Team compositions
Lille: Chevalier – Meunier, Diakité, Mandi, Gudmundsson – André, Mukau – Zhegrova, Angel Gomes, Sahraoui – David
Lyon: Perri – Maitland-Niles, Caleta-Car, Niakhaté, Tagliafico – Matic, Veretout, Tolisso – Cherki, Lacazette, Fofana
