OL-TFC: Memphis back, Mammana named in the squad to face Toulouse

Published on 11 March 2017 at 7:13 PM by CC

At the end of the week's last training session, the Lyon coach unveiled his list of 19 players for Toulouse's visit.

On Saturday afternoon, Lyon held their last training session ahead of hosting Toulouse on Sunday at 1700 in week 29 of Ligue 1.

A final seassion as a rehearsal for Bruno Genesio's squad before making their way to the Parc OL only three days after the huge performance they put in in the Europa League against AS Roma in the round of 16 first leg.

Absent for that match on Thursday because of ineligibility, Memphis Depay has now rejoined the Lyon squad. The Dutch forward will be another reinforcement in a forward line that might also include Nabil Fekir, Alex Lacazette, Mathieu Valbuena, Maxwel Cornet and Rachid Ghezzal.

The team's defence, on the other hand, has some notable absentees: Rafael is out as announced by Bruno Genesio in Friday's press conference. Mouctar Diakhaby and Nicolas Nkoulou are also unavailable due to suspension. On the other hand, Emanuel Mammana, having been a doubt because of a sore stomach, will be involved in Toulouse's visit.
