Lyon have cleared their mid-season appearance before the DNCG, with recruitment limits lifted.

According to L'Équipe, the club’s hierarchy was heard in Paris in the early afternoon on Thursday, and the body removed its controls on incoming signings.

The club were administratively relegated to Ligue 2 in June, and were only restored on appeal a few weeks later.
