OL: Sulc, Endrick and Nartey available to face Lille | OneFootball

Lyon host Lille in Ligue 1 on Sunday at 15:00, with several important players returning and a less youthful outlook.

According to Le Progres, head coach Paulo Fonseca said Pavel Sulc, Endrick, who was not eligible for the Europa League, and Vinicius Abner are available, and new Danish signing Noah Nartey can be considered after serving his suspension.

Fonseca was cautious on Nartey, saying the 20-year-old arrived late and must learn their game. He will be with the group if needed, but starting against Lille would be difficult. The coach praised his technique, work in tight spaces, ball control and final decisions, and believes he could become important.

Absences remain numerous, with Corentin Tolisso sidelined with a hamstring issue and Rachid Ghezzal nursing a groin problem. Ernest Nuamah and Orel Mangala are returning from cruciate ligament injuries, with Mangala also out for 10 days. Malick Fofana and Nicolas Tagliafico have ankle sprains.

Lyon beat PAOK Salonique 4-2 on Thursday night and have nine wins in a row. Even so, another examination awaits against Lille.

OL have shown their depth, so there is no sense of gloom before Sunday.
