Dijon v OL Lyonnes: Renard rested, midfield continuity, attack reinforced | OneFootball

OL Lyonnes have made only minor changes for Saturdays Coupe de la Ligue semi-final at Dijon at 19:00, with Wendie Renard still out and Christiane Endler rested. Jonatan Giraldez has Alice Sombath back and has added Ada Hegerberg and Jule Brand in attack.

According to Le Progres, only Tabitha Chawinga, Tarciane and Elma Nelhage from the squad that beat Saint-Étienne 4-0 on Sunday at Groupama Stadium will not make the trip.

In goal, Giraldez opted to protect Endler after her eye injury despite positive training signs. With Endler and Teagan Micah still not ready, Féerine Belhadj is expected to start, and Lou Marchal travels.

Sombath returns in defence, while Renard remains absent. There is continuity in midfield, which stays packed with long range threat.

The forward line grows from four against the Verts to five, with Brand and Hegerberg included. Both impressed against OM in the quarter-finals, and Hegerberg scored.

Squad, 18 players: Belhadj, Marchal, Lawrence, Engen, Bacha, Svava, Sombath, Damaris, Heaps, Yohannes, Benyahia, Shrader, Dumornay, Katoto, Becho, Diani, Brand, Hegerberg.
