Lyon predicted XI v OGC Nice: Endrick one of several players absent | OneFootball

Endrick is one of several players absent as Olympique Lyonnais prepare to host OGC Nice on Sunday night. 

The Brazilian was sent off during last weekend’s win over FC Nantes. Whilst the straight red card was revoked, Endrick still received two yellow cards and will therefore miss this match. There are plenty of injury-related absences for Lyon, too.

Ruben Kluivert, Nicolas Tagliafico, and Afonso Moreira are all currently injured, whilst the likes of Orel Mangala, Malick Fofana, and Ernest Nuamah are all recovering from more long-term injuries. For OL, there is therefore a lack of options in every line. 

In the absence of Endrick, Pavel Sulc is expected to start in a false No.9 role, whilst Corentin Tolisso may play more advanced as he often has this season.
