Reims predicted XI v Lyon: Long list of absentees for Will Still’s momentum chasers | OneFootball

Will Still’s Stade de Reims will be without a host of players as they visit Olympique Lyonnais and build momentum on their run of two games without a defeat. Thibault De Smet picked up a yellow card in their 2-1 victory over FC Metz meaning he’ll be suspended for this game.

In his place, Sergio Akieme makes his third start after the ex-Barcelona man has predominantly been used off the bench since making the swap from UD Almería in January. Mohamed Daramy picked up an injury during that game meaning a start for Shunsuke Nakamura on the left of the attack.

Daramy joins a growing list of players out injured for Reims with Benjamin Stambouli and Teddy Teuma also unavailable for selection as they recover. The only other change for Reims is unenforced with Amir Richardson coming in for Reda Khadra.
