Lyon predicted XI v PSG: Paulo Fonseca contending with absences, Endrick to start | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais are contending with several big-name absences in the forward areas as they prepare to head to the Parc des Princes to face Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain. 

Facing PSG at home is a daunting task regardless, but one made more difficult for Lyon in light of their absences. Ernest Nuamah, who has still yet to feature this season, remains sidelined, whilst Malick Fofana has not yet recovered from his setback.

There are even bigger blows in the form of the absence of club captain Corentin Tolisso, whilst OL’s most prolific forward this season Pavel Sulc, also misses out on this game. Nicolas Tagliafico also remains sidelined for Paulo Fonseca’s side.

Despite the absences, Fonseca is still expected to align a two-man strike force, with Endrick partnering Afonso Moreira, and Khalis Merah in the No.10 role.
