The official lineups have not yet been released but according to L'Equipe, Pierre Sage will be without Corentin Tolisso and Rayan Cherki at the start of the match between OL and Montpellier.
Surprises in the lineup of Olympique Lyonnais for the reception of Montpellier, bottom of Ligue 1, this Saturday at 9 p.m. at Groupama Stadium. The official match sheets have not yet been released but according to information from L'Equipe, Pierre Sage has made the decision to do without two of his best players from the start of the season. Rayan Cherki will be on the bench since the 45-year-old coach has chosen to line up Saïd Benrahma in support of Alexandre Lacazette.
The French junior international will therefore start on the bench, in the same way as… Corentin Tolisso. Regarding the 2018 world champion, it is more a precautionary principle than a tactical choice. Released due to injury before the Coupe de France break, the former Bayern Munich player leaves his place to Jordan Veretout. Hugo Guillemet also announces that Caleta-Car will start in central defense alongside Mata and that Nuamah will start on the right of the Lyon attack. The official composition will be revealed around 8 p.m.
