Renard absent, Lyon is still preparing against Arsenal

The captain of Olympique Lyonnais, Wendie Renard, will unfortunately be unavailable for this Saturday’s game, an event that coincides with the celebration of her 500th game under the Lyon colours. Following a foot injury, the player’s health was not considered fit to allow her to participate in the meeting.

However, coach Joe Montemurro will have the satisfaction of being able to count on the return of several internationals, who gradually joined the band during the week. Among them are Ellie Carpenter, Vanessa Gilles, Tarciane, Lindsey Horan and Tabitha Chawinga, thus strengthening the workforce for future challenges. The notable absence of Ada Hegerberg, following a concussion before the gathering in Clairefontaine, will nevertheless be felt.

Finally, Kadidiatou Diakité made his return to competition, a valuable addition for the team. The team’s final roster for the meeting at the Groupama Stadium remains to be determined, while the semifinals go from the Champions League to Arsenal are on the horizon.
