Lyon predicted XI v Lille: Alexandre Lacazette and Rayan Cherki return to lineup | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais will look to bounce back from two disappointing results against Beşiktaş JK (1-0) and AJ Auxerre (2-2) as they travel to Lille OSC where they will face one of the more in-form teams in the league.

Pierre Sage has cut and changed his squad with frequency during his time in charge of Lyon and tonight’s game will likely be no exception with Duje Ćaleta-Car and Saël Kumbedi being replaced by Clinton Mata and Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the back four.

In midfield, Nemanja Matić remains a consistent pick from the Auxerre draw but he will now be partnered with Corentin Tolisso. Rayan Cherki comes in as a number ten, while Alexandre Lacazette will likely replace Georges Mikautadze who missed training sessions this week due to an illness.
