Lyon predicted XI v Angers: Malick Fofana out, Afonso Moreira to start | OneFootball

Malick Fofana is the major absentee as Olympique Lyonnais prepare to face SCO Angers at the Stade Raymond Kopa on Sunday afternoon.

The Belgian had just returned following an absence of several months due to an ankle injury, however, he was forced to undergo a further operation during the international break, linked to his recovery from the aforementioned ankle injury. Lyon announced that he would miss two weeks of action and so he misses out. 

It is therefore Endrick who is set to start on the right for Paulo Fonseca’s side. The Portuguese manager is also without Nicolas Tagliafico, who is suspended, as well as Rémi Himbert and Ernest Nuamah. Pavel Sulc is expected to lead the line for Les Gones, with Corentin Tolisso in the No.10 role.
