Lyon predicted XI v Celta Vigo: Malick Fofana and Pavel Sulc return

There is a big boost for Olympique Lyonnais heading into the second leg of their UEFA Europa League tie against Celta Vigo, with three key forwards included in the matchday squad.

Malick Fofana has been out for several months, however, he is now fit enough to return, although he is not necessarily expected to start. Pavel Sulc has also been out with an injury for several weeks but will be expected to take his place on the Lyon bench and the same goes for Afonso Moreira.

Despite their returns, it is expected to be a similar line-up to the ones that we have regularly seen in recent weeks, with Endrick partnering Roman Yaremchuk up front. The likes of Ruben Kluivert, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Ernest Nuamah, and Rémi Himbert are all out.
