Olympique Lyonnais goes to Auxerre on Sunday night to face the AJ Auxerre, as part of the twenty-ninth day of Ligue 1. This match, scheduled at 8:45 pm at the stadium of Abbé Deschamps, is of particular importance for the Gones, who aim to position themselves in the top 4 of the championship. Coach Paulo Fonseca had to demonstrate ingenuity to compose a list of 21 players, faced with several notable absences in attack, including Ernest Nuamah, Malick Fofana and Enzo Molebe.

Despite these difficulties, the Lyon team benefits from Tanner Tessmann’s return and the presence of Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez, who will be on a list of professional players for the second consecutive time. The group selected by Paulo Fonseca demonstrates the coach’s willingness to put in place a balanced composition, combining experience and youth, with a solid defense and a reactive field environment. The absence of several key attackers underscores the need for available players to surpass themselves to ensure the team’s success.

The Lyon group is running for this match with the following players: Descamps, Diarra, Perri, Abner, Caleta-Car, Kumbedi, Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niakhaté, Omari, Tagliafico, Akoukou, Almada, Matic, Tessmann, Tolisso, Veretout, Cherki, Rodriguez, Lacazette and Mikautadze. The match is therefore crucial for Lyon’s ambitions, and all hopes are placed in the players’ ability to meet the challenge on the opposing lawn.
