Lyon predicted XI v Montpellier: Maxence Caqueret out, Wilfried Zaha left out | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais will be without Maxence Caqueret as they prepare to host Montpellier HSC on Saturday night. The midfielder has been out for a fortnight and has not been included in Pierre Sage’s squad.

Bar Caqueret, the most major absentee, and Nicolas Tagliafico, who is suspended for the encounter, Lyon are also set to be without Adryelson and Wilfried Zaha, both of whom are out-of-favour and could be set for transfers away from the club this month.

Alexandre Lacazette is set to lead the line and so Georges Mikautadze may have to settle for a place on the bench. Ernest Nuamah, who has featured less prominently of late, could start on the right with the in-form Malick Fofana on the left and Rayan Cherki in the No.10 position.
