Olympique Lyonnais (OL) had planned to celebrate Wendie Renard’s 500th match in his colours against Paris FC during the recovery after the international truce. However, the captain’s participation in this first division meeting was postponed due to his convocation with the French women’s team. Although the captain pushed back this symbolic course in the matches against Arsenal and Nantes, she is still in recovery due to a foot injury contracted during her time with the Blues.

Joe Montemurro, Lyon coach, had fun last Saturday at a press conference with the question about Wendie Renard. However, he did not provide more information about his possible participation in the game against Arsenal this Sunday. A few hours from the game, Wendie Renard did not participate in the collective warm-up with her teammates, but she later appeared to perform individual work before joining the exercises. The decision on its participation will be made at the last minute.

In Wendie Renard’s camp, there is a clear will to play, even if OL will not return to the competition until after this match against Arsenal on May 7. However, with the play-offs and a possible final of the Champions League to come, the question of rhythm might arise.

On the side of Olympique Lyonnais, Paulo Fonseca can count on Corentin Tolisso in the band, but he will still regret Ernest Nuamah’s absence until the end of the season. On the other hand, Rennais will be deprived of Habib Beye and Alidu Seidu for long-term injuries, but they have a positive dynamic Despite having nothing left to play for this season, they arrive at Décines without any pressure which could potentially pose a threat to OL who must absolutely win, especially after Nice’s victory over PSG on Friday night.
