As the crucial match against Manchester United approached, Paulo Fonseca’s team welcomed Malick Fofana’s return to training. The young Belgian attacker, absent since the last international truce following a knee injury, resumed the collective exercises this Tuesday, an encouraging sign for the Lyon force. His presence in training suggests that he will be included in the group that will travel to England for the return match of the Europa League.

Aware of the absences already recorded, notably those of Ernest Nuamah and Enzo Molebe, the coach will have to exercise caution when using Malick Fofana. Although his return is excellent news for the team, it is possible that the coach prefers to have him start on the replacement bench to avoid any risk of relapse and preserve his fitness for later phases of the game.

Images of this training session were shared, illustrating the return of Malick Fofana, Georges in player mode, and the teasing spirit of Tagliafico, demonstrating the positive atmosphere and motivation of the players as they approach this decisive European meeting.
