Metz predicted XI v Lyon: Jessy Deminguet and Cheikh Sabaly doubts | OneFootball

Jessy Deminguet and Cheikh Sabaly, who would ordinarily start, are doubts for FC Metz as they prepare to face Olympique Lyonnais on Saturday night.

Former RC Strasbourg Alsace midfielder Deminguet is suffering from a heel injury. Sabaly, meanwhile, has a knee problem. Both have, nonetheless, been included in the Metz squad to face Lyon. There is, however, a boost for Les Grénats, who will welcome back club captain Gauthier Hein. The attacking midfielder missed the opener through suspension.

16-year-old Luxembourg international Brian Madjo, who made his debut last week for Les Grénats in a slender 1-0 loss to local rivals Strasbourg, is expected to once again start up front for Stéphane Le Mignan’s side. Jean-Philippe Gbamin is expected to line up in defence.
