Lyon predicted XI v Lens: Moussa Niakhaté out, Pavel Sulc to start

Olympique Lyonnais will be without key defender Moussa Niakhaté for their upcoming Ligue 1 match against RC Lens, as he sustained a muscular injury while on international duty with Senegal. Additionally, Mohamed Ouédraogo, another major player, is also expected to miss the game due to a knee injury sustained in training. Nicolás Tagliafico may also be affected, as he returned late from international duty, leading to Abner being expected to start at left back for Lyon.

The team's lineup is likely to be Dominik Greif; Abner, Ruben Kluivert, Felix Bacher, Zachary Akethame; Tyler Morton, Corentin Tolisso, Mads Bidstrup, Pavel Sulc; Lois Openda, Ernest Nuamah, with Pavel Sulc set to start in the No.10 role, potentially leaving no space for Keito Nakamura.
