Lyon to resume training on 29 June with July camp in Bavaria | OneFootball

Lyon will resume training on 29 June, five weeks before their Champions League third qualifying round first leg, and will hold a camp in Bavaria from 19 to 24 July.

According to L'Équipe, the early start follows their fourth-place finish and entry at the third qualifying round, even though Ligue 1 does not begin until 23 August.

Paulo Fonseca’s squad will play several July friendlies, with opponents yet to be confirmed. The camp will be at a Bavarian complex where OL Lyonnes prepared last year.

The first leg is set for 4 or 5 August against one of Union Saint-Gilloise, Sparta Prague, Nimègue, Sturm Graz, Gornik Zabrze or Hearts.

The return is on 11 August. If they advance, the play-off round is scheduled for 18 and 19, then 25 or 26 August.
