Lyon predicted XI v Le Havre: Rayan Cherki to start while new signings benched | OneFootball

Rayan Cherki will likely start for Olympique Lyonnais in the first game back from the winter’s break. The forward has had a difficult season under three different managers, but with Pierre Sage was beginning to find some consistent game time.

Lyon have added another forward to their roster following the departure of Jeffinho on loan to Botafogo. Malick Fofana was signed on the 10th of January from Gent, so it appears unlikely that the Belgian winger will see more than a few minutes of play.

The new signing in defence, Adryelson, will also be unlikely to start, but with a back five expected to be used in their visit to Le Havre, there could be a chance for the new centreback to gain some minutes for Lyon.
