Olympique Lyonnais, or Lyon, may opt to field a weakened lineup for their Europa League opener against RSC Anderlecht, according to a report from L’Équipe. The French club is aiming to progress deep into this season's competition, following a less-than-impressive campaign last year. Manager Paulo Fonseca may employ a heavy rotation strategy against the Belgian side.
The report suggests that only a select few players are likely to retain their places, with Dominik Greif potentially dropped in favor of Rémy Descamps in goal. Keito Nakamura could make his first start since joining Lyon from Stade de Reims, while Moussa Niakhaté, Tyler Morton, and Lois Openda are expected to keep their positions.
