Olympique Lyonnais is going through a complex period, marked by injuries and departures that could impact the team for the new season. Malick Fofana, a young attacker coveted by Everton, suffered a shock at the head during a training and will have to follow a concussion protocol, preventing him from participating in the next friendly matches and potentially at the last friendly meeting against Getafe. Enzo Molebe, also injured in a friendly match, is affected at the muscle level, with a duration of unavailability still uncertain. These absences add to the situation, forcing Paulo Fonseca to find solutions in attack, especially since he is already deprived of Eenzo Molebe.

In parallel, the club welcomes new reinforcements for next season. Tabitha Chawinga, after a stay with her Malawi selection, joined OL for her second year, with the goal of exceeding her performances from the previous season. Ashley Lawrence, a Canadian defendant who arrived from Chelsea, performed his medical tests and should gradually join the group. These arrivals are important to strengthen the team, especially in the right corridor, after the departure of Elie Carpenter in London.

Finally, Olympique Lyonnais launched the subscription renewal phase for the 2025/2026 season. Last season’s subscribers have until Tuesday to retain their place, after which the unreserved seats will be released for sale to the general public. The club has also opened its subscription campaign to all fans, offering different options to follow home meetings in Ligue 1 and in the Europa League. These initiatives aim to maintain the link with supporters and ensure sustained attendance at the stadium.
