Olympique Lyonnais will travel this weekend to the Stadium de Toulouse to face Toulouse FC. Lyon had been in action during the week when they hosted Olympiacos in the first match of their Europa League campaign. Les Gones would secure a 2-0 victory with second-half goals from Rayan Cherki and Saïd Benrahma.
The latter had found minutes hard to come by recently and had not been used outside of the first two games of the season. There were reports that the former West Ham United and Brentford FC player was growing frustrated with his new status in the squad. However, Benrahma’s substitute appearance may have earned him a start in Pierre Sage’s plans.
On the other wing, Wilfried Zaha could make his long-awaited debut for a club he joined on loan over the summer from Galatasaray. Rotation in the forward line looks to be something that Sage will be able to rely upon during a season where the club hope to go far in Europe, although Alexandre Lacazette keeps his place from midweek.
