Lyon Women face Aston Villa in third pre-season test in Germany | OneFootball

According to Le Progres, Wendie Renard and her team-mates continue their build-up on Friday in Germany, facing Aston Villa at 11:00.

They come into it after a draw with Real Sociedad and a defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. This third friendly could bring either a first pre-season win or more frustration, from a Worcestershire tang to the smoothness of crème anglaise.

Beyond the scoreline, the priority remains sharpening attacking and defensive automatisms. This fixture offers another measure of their progress.

A meeting with English opposition provides a contrasting challenge, another step in calibrating patterns at both ends of the pitch.

Either way, the Villa test should indicate how far Lyon have come since facing Real Sociedad and Eintracht Frankfurt.
