OL wants to continue against Lille

Ligue 1, OL (15^E, 19pts) got back on track last Sunday with a win against Olympique de Marseille (1-0). A respectable win that always pleases Ron supporters when it comes against OM. This result also confirms the optimism that reigns in Rhône after the interesting transfer window undertaken by Olympique Lyonnais.

A dynamic that Pierre Sage and his players want to ride against Lille in the Coupe de France this Wednesday. “ There is physical exhaustion, but mental energy recovers more quickly with successes. We were happy with this win, but we quickly turned our attention to the Coupe de France,” Pierre launched Sage at a press conference on Tuesday.

Deprived of three players from Pierre Sage, Benarhama are still uncertain

However, OL will present themselves with a decimated team against the Mastiffs. Johan Lepennant, Dejan Lovren and Henrik are already out for the clash against LOSC. Also, Pierre Sage isn’t sure he can trust Said Benerhama. The flagship signing of the winter transfer window, the Algerian international was on the verge of a suspension from the English federation for excluding him from the match.

While he did not play at the Olimpico against OM, Pierre-Emerick Sage hopes the various authorities can find common ground to employ Benerhama on Wednesday. ” We are still awaiting feedback on this topic. There were three tier decisions with the English federation in relation to the West Ham match last Thursday, the LFP for Sunday’s match and there, the FFF with the Coupe de France. We look forward to his return.” The French give credence to the technician, who, on the other hand, will be able to count on the presence of the other major winter tide, the Aurel Mars, in this case.
