Lyon predicted XI v Utrecht: Corentin Tolisso misses out with suspension | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais captain Corentin Tolisso will miss the first game of the club’s UEFA Europa League campaign, against FC Utrecht. The Frenchman is serving his suspension after being sent off against Manchester United at Old Trafford last season.

Tolisso is the major absentee for Lyon. Abner and Ernest Nuamah also miss out on the game. Tyler Morton, who missed out on OL’s last game through suspension, will play against Utrecht, likely alongside Tanner Tessmann. Despite an unconvincing display against SCO Angers, Martin Satriano will once again lead the line for Les Gones.

With Rémy Descamps also injured, Dominik Greif will keep his place in goal. Ainsley Maitland-Niles may not start, with Ruben Kluivert perhaps favoured over the former Arsenal man at right-back.
