Rudi Garcia is at the end of his contract with OL in June 2021. – VS Press / SIPA
Depay, Caqueret, De Sciglio, Marcelo, Benlamri, Slimani, Bard, and Denayer. Between the suspended after the wooden fight in Monaco and the injured in recent weeks, these are pretty much the players on whom Rudi Garcia will not be able to count for the Lyon-Lorient match on Saturday night, an extremely important match that can allow the ‘OL to pass in front of the ASM at least temporarily.
A substantial list that pushed the Rhone coach to make humor Thursday at a press conference, when asked if he was going to have to deal with a rejuvenated bench. “I have provided bottles, no problem.”
Aouar back?
He should still see Houssem Aouar there, still too tight physically to hold the whole match. “I hope he will be the man of the last matches. He can be constant, regular, be ready to face difficulties, but he has everything he needs, otherwise he would not have flown over Final 8 ”.

It was a good time for the international community, which comes at the end of a delicate season on a personal level. But there is still time to get on the locomotive reboosted by this improbable victory in the Principality. “We will put the best possible team. No matter who we play with, I could put the staff, we will be motivated. We changed the dynamic in Monaco, we absolutely want to win this match and be third on Saturday at 7 p.m. We play a very dangerous Lorient team. It will not be simple, but through the door or the window, we want to take the three points. “
