Olympique Lyonnais announced the composition of its group of 21 players called to face Manchester United in Old Trafford, as part of the return match of the Europa League semifinals. This selection marks the return of Malick Fofana and Tanner Tessmann, previously absent for personal reasons, testifying to a strengthening of the options available for coach Paulo Fonseca. The rest of the composition is consistent with expectations, confirming the presence of players usually aligned by the team.
Despite the presence of many key personnel, young Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez was unfortunately not selected for this trip to England. On the other hand, the team relies on the presence of its indisputable cadres, including Alexandre Lacazette, Corentin Tolisso, Thiago Almada, Georges Mikautadze and Moussa Niatakhatรฉ, stressing the importance of their contribution to hope for a favourable result.
This crucial match is therefore set to be a major challenge for Olympique Lyonnais, who will have to mobilize all his strength to try to win his place in the Europa League final. The composition of the team demonstrates Paulo Fonseca’s willingness to rely on an experienced and competitive group, while gradually integrating players who have returned from injury or have personal constraints.
