The sports director of Olympique Lyonnais, Matthieu Louis-Jean, underlined the success of the club’s recent transfer period, called “perfectly managed” and crowned by the victory in the Olympic Lyonnais - Olympic of Marseille (1-0) on the third day of the championship. This win, at the end of the game, is part of a series of three consecutive wins and a nine out of nine points balance sheet, demonstrating prudent financial management with a significant drop in payroll. Matthieu Louis-Jean expressed his satisfaction with these results, considering this success as a total success for the club.

The victory against OM was, however, tinged with concern about the state of health of Malick Fofana, a Belgian winger of OL. Injured at the ankle during the meeting, he had to leave the field at the beginning of the second half. Although assistant coach Jorge Maciel minimized the severity of the injury, indicating a simple medical check with the national team, Matthieu Louis-Jean said that Fofana had suffered a violent blow and that an MRI would be performed to assess the extent of the damage.

The prospects for Malick Fofana’s participation with the national team remain uncertain. Matthew Louis-Jean expressed doubts about his ability to join the selection, although he did not consider the injury to be very serious. The outcome of the medical examination will determine whether Fofana will be able to join Rudi Garcia’s team this week, leaving an uncertainty about his return to the national team and potentially about his availability for the upcoming OL matches.
