Justin Bengui, the goaltender of Olympique Lyonnais, is about to leave the club to join RWDM Brussels on loan. In search of regular playing time, the 20-year-old should engage with the Belgian club, under contract with OL until June 2028. This decision came when he had spent the previous season on loan at FK Jedinstvo Ub, where he played 12 games all over the competition and conceded 19 goals, without being able to prevent the relegation of the Serbian club.

Olympique Lyonnais began its pre-season with 1-0 against FC Villefranche-Beaujolais in a friendly match. Coach Paulo Fonseca highlighted the team’s potential despite the current restrictions, opting for mixed compositions to give all players time to play. This first game allowed to refine the strategy and prepare the upcoming deadlines, with a summary available on the club’s official platforms.

In addition, the club announced changes to the jersey number for two professional players: Tanner Tessmann will now be number 6, while Orel Mangala will be number 5. These changes are part of the usual adjustments at the beginning of the season. These changes are in addition to a context of reconstruction and confidence, after the last season’s Ligue 1 retention, a success that was warmly welcomed by the players and the staff.
