Paulo Fonseca’s team resumes their training next Monday, while Olympique Lyonnais awaits the outcome of his appeal to the DNCG. In parallel, a friendly match was scheduled for the end of July. Players, including Corentin Tolisso, will travel to Germany on July 26 to face Hamburg at the Volksparkstadion at 3pm. This match, which follows a first friendly match against the FCVB, will allow the team to gain confidence against a German team recently promoted in the Bundesliga.

This friendly match in Germany is part of a busy summer training program for OL. After the meetings of Villefranche and Molenbeek, this trip to Hamburg marks the third friendly match of the summer. Despite the continuing uncertainty about the future of the club, the DNCG’s decision, expected on Thursday, should clarify the plans for this summer. The match against Hamburg will be the kick-off of OL’s summer internship.

Following this match, the Lyon team will travel to Innsbruck, Austria, for an internship that will run from July 27 to August 2. This internship will most likely include other friendly matches. The start of the Ligue 1 season is scheduled for the weekend of August 16, with a first match in Lens. This summer program testifies to the team’s intensive preparation for the coming season.
