Olympique Lyonnais (OL) is planning to separate from several players considered undesirable elements of his team, including Mahamadou Diawara and Paul Akoukou. Diawara attracts the interest of clubs such as the Brestois Stadium and FC Copenhagen, which could lead to his departure during the next summer transfer window. Although the Stade Brestois initially considered recruiting him, the deterioration of relations between the two clubs following the failed transfer of Pierre Lees-Melou considerably reduced the chances of a signature. In particular, FC Copenhagen seems particularly interested in the profile of the French player.

OL are preparing to face FC Metz this weekend on the second day of Ligue 1, a game to be played at the Groupama Stadium. This match marks the first OL match at the new stadium of the season, after having played friendly games outside the Groupama Stadium or at the Groupama Training Centre. To optimize its preparation, the team will conduct a training session on the stadium’s new lawn this Thursday. The lawn of Parc OL had been a problem in some of the previous season and had been replaced several times.

Enzo Molebe, injured for several weeks, is back in the OL group. After missing part of the pre-season due to an injury and a context of many starts, the young player is now back in training and could be competing for a spot in the group for the match against FC Metz. His return is a boost for coach Paulo Fonseca, who can count on this player for Saturday’s match.
