OL overhaul entire XI at Toulouse for Ligue 1 opener | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, OL have named an entirely changed starting XI for their Ligue 1 opener at Toulouse, with Rémy Descamps in goal.

Lyon begin their league campaign in Toulouse at 20:45 on Saturday, three days after a 1-1 draw away to Fenerbahçe in the Champions League play-off first leg.

Head coach Paulo Fonseca has rotated the whole side, with Descamps preferred to Dominik Greif between the posts.

The full turnover rests his first-choice XI ahead of Thursday’s return leg, when qualification is regarded as essential for the club’s finances.

OL starting XI: Descamps, Atheame, Mata (c), Bacher, Ouédraogo, Bidstrup, De Carvalho, Nartey, Boudache, Himbert, Duranville.

Mata captains the team.
