AJ Auxerre is preparing to host Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday evening as part of the 29th day of Ligue 1. The game, which will take place at 8:45 p.m. at the Abbé-Deschamps stadium, is expected to be a crucial meeting for the Icainian promotion. Coach Chrisophe Pélissier selected a group of twenty-one players to face the Gones, while managing several notable absences related to injuries and suspension.

The AJ Auxerre group will have to deal with the unavailability of several key elements. Gabriel Osho, Elisha Owusu, Han-Noah Massengo and Hamed Junior Traorè will not be able to participate in the game, while Kevin Danes returns after overcoming a problem with the ischio-legs. Initially announced package, Clement Akpa was finally included in the list of players available. This situation imposes an additional tactical challenge on the team to counter Olympique Lyonnais.

The group chosen for this meeting includes Léon, Adicéam, De Percin, Jubal, Oppegard, Mensah, Diomandé, Hoever, Joly, Muzungu, Akpa, Perrin, Maddy, Cissé, Divoussé, Danois, Matondo, Bair, Sinayoko, Ayé and Onaiwu. This selection reflects the coach’s willingness to put in place a coherent strategy to hope for a favourable result against a national opponent.
