Following a two-week truce, Joe Montemurro’s team had to deal with late returns and injury constraints, requiring tactical adjustments for the match against the Paris FC. Wendie Renard, unavailable due to an injury contracted with the Bleues, will not be able to celebrate her 500th appearance under the colours of Olympique Lyonnais, which led the breeder to opt for Alice Sombath as a replacement, favoring her physical freshness compared to the Brazilian Tarician, who made a long journey. The composition of the team demonstrates the need to adapt the strategy in the absence of the captain and to manage the lack of rest of some players as best as possible.

Vanessa Gilles, who returned late from a stay in North America, was aligned from the start despite a limited rest period, stressing its importance in the Lyon system. Other players, such as Lindsey Heaps and Melchie Dumorny, are not included in the original composition, and Haitian is not even included in the group. To compensate for Heaps’s absence, Joe Montemurro chose to titularize Daniëlle van de Donk, who will form a trio in the middle of the field with Marozsan and Damaris. As for Kadidiatou Diani, she has perfectly overcome a concussion and will be present in attack, forming an offensive trio with Chawinga and Eugénie Le Sommer.

The composition of Olympique Lyonnais for this meeting against Paris FC is as follows: Endler, Carpenter, Gilles, Sombath, Svava, Marozsan, Damaris, Van de Donk, Chawinga, Le Sommer, Diani. This training reflects the team’s willingness to deal with absences and rest time constraints while presenting a promising attack, ready to meet the challenge of the Paris FC.
