Lyon Faces PSG With Major Forward Line Weakened
19 Apr
Summary
- Several key forwards are unavailable for Lyon's match.
- Captain Corentin Tolisso is among the notable absentees.
- A young strike partnership is expected to lead Lyon's attack.
Olympique Lyonnais will head to the Parc des Princes to face Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain with a severely depleted forward line. The team is contending with multiple significant absences in attacking positions.
Ernest Nuamah and Malick Fofana remain sidelined due to ongoing issues. The situation is further compounded by the absence of club captain Corentin Tolisso, and Lyon's most prolific forward this season, Pavel Sulc. Nicolas Tagliafico also continues to be unavailable for the side.
Despite these numerous setbacks, manager Paulo Fonseca is anticipated to deploy a two-man strike force. This partnership is expected to consist of Endrick and Afonso Moreira, with Khalis Merah operating in the No. 10 role. The likely lineup for Lyon against PSG includes Greif; Abner, Kluivert, Niakhaté, Mata, Maitland-Niles; Morton, Mangala; Merah; Moreira, Endrick.
