Olympique Lyonnais is currently in full preparation for his trip to Rennes, generating speculation about the possible return of Samuel Umtitia, an international defender free of contract and handed over from his injury. Although his visit to training was seen as a mere courtesy, rumours persisted about his possible willingness to end his career. For his part, coach Paulo Fonseca, whose suspension is partially lifted, insists on the importance of maintaining the rhythm and ambition in the game, while stressing the positive work of the staff and the confidence of the group after a good preparation and a promising start to the season.

Rémy Descamps, goaltender, highlighted OL’s good season start, marked by inviolable defence and positive results. He expressed his satisfaction with his current role and ambition to confirm it, while recognizing that not everything was perfect. Descamps also spoke of his career, his adaptation to his new role and his confidence in his teammates. He also discussed his decision to stay at OL, stressing the opportunity he seized and the importance of the experience gained with his former partners.

In parallel, OL reinforced their attack with the arrival of Martin Satriano on loan, a qualified player who knows the French championship well. Paulo Fonseca praised its qualities and potential to bring an offensive alternative. In addition, the video game “EA Sports FC 26” unveiled its ranking of the top players in Ligue 1, with Ousmane Dembélé leading, followed by Ashraf Hakimi and Vitinha. Corentin Tolisso is the only Lyon player in the top 20, while several other players from different French clubs also appear in this ranking.
