Olympique Lyonnais prepares to face FC Metz on the second day of Ligue 1, with a group of 21 players selected by Paulo Fonseca for the game at the Groupama Stadium. The Lyon coach can count on the presence of Corentin Tolisso, although his state of shape to start the encounter remains uncertain. This selection marks the first convocation of Dominik Greif, the team’s third goaltender, which suggests the future of Mathieu Patouillet, whose departure from OL is likely. The team is also marked by the recent arrival of Tyler Morton, a versatile and talented field medium, who expressed gratitude to Liverpool and the coaches who trained him.

This match is particularly important for the club, which will pay tribute to Bernard Lacombe for the ninth minute of the game, as well as to Gérard Drevet’s memory before the kick-off. Lyon personalities from the past are expected for this tribute. At the same time, former Lyonnais Lucas Paqueta scored a goal for West Ham on the first day of Premier League against Chelsea, a performance reminiscent of his glorious past at the club.

The OL group for the match against Metz includes players such as Greif, Descamps and Diarra, while Mangaala and Nuamah remain unavailable due to their recovery. Patouillet and Molebe are not included in this list. The team is ready to show its potential to Rhodan fans after a disappointing first performance against Lens, hoping to match the legend Steven Gerrard.
