Lyon predicted XI v FCSB: Rayan Cherki and Georges Mikautadze to return to line-up | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais have a clean bill of health as they welcome FCSB to the Groupama Stadium this evening, looking to preserve their 3-1 lead from the first leg and qualify for the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League.

For the game, Paulo Fonseca will be allowed to return to the touchline. The Lyon manager spent the game in the stands during the win over OGC Nice on Sunday as he served the first game of his nine-month ban. The ban does not apply to European competition. Fonseca, with a full squad at his disposal, will have plenty of choices to make.

He is expected to significantly tinker with the side that beat Nice 2-0. Ernest Nuamah, Rayan Cherki and Georges Mikautadze, all of whom started on the bench over the weekend, are expected to start. Alexandre Lacazette, Malick Fofana and Thiago Almada are expected to drop to the bench.
