The partnership between Olympique Lyonnais and Trainline, a specialist in rail transport, could extend until 2028. This extension includes the presence of the Trainline logo on players’ shorts during Ligue 1 matches, as well as on training and warm-up jerseys. The agreement also offers increased visibility for Trainline at the Groupama Stadium and on the club’s digital platforms. Trainline sees OL as an ideal platform to encourage the use of the train, thereby strengthening its commitment to sustainable mobility. Michael Gerlinger, Director General of OL, welcomes this extension as an important step in a collaboration that began in February 2025, stressing the opportunity to bring supporters closer to an environmentally friendly mode of transport.
On the sporting side, Olympique de Marseille faces challenges in terms of player availability. Roberto De Zerbi announced that Facundo Medina, injured in the ankle, and Geoffrey Kondogbia would be absent. The shape of Amine Harit is uncertain, while the rest of the team is in good condition. On the other hand, Paulo Fonseca, OL coach, will be able to count on a full squad for the next game. The arrival of young players has had a positive impact on the team’s atmosphere and cohesion, according to Clinton Mata, who underlines the importance of their integration and mentality.
OM seems to be active in finding a replacement for Quentin Merlin, with Emerson Palmieri, West Ham’s left side, as the main candidate. Agreement in principle on the terms of the contract would have been reached, but negotiations between the clubs are still under way. For the next match against OL, Paulo Fonseca confirms that Rémy Descamps will remain the goaltender, although Dominik Greif has made progress and can bring his experience. Finally, OL competed with the Racing Club in Strasbourg for the young Argentine winger Facundo Buonanotte, Brighton favoring a Premier League loan.
