Lyon predicted XI v Besiktas: Ernest Nuamah on the bench, Saïd Benrahma to start | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais don’t have any considerable injury concerns as they look to continue their winning start to their UEFA Europa League campaign, against Besiktas.

With an almost complete squad to pick from, Pierre Sage has plenty of decisions to make. Some big names will be left on the bench. Maxence Caqueret, Ernest Nuamah, Georges Mikautadze, Gift Orban, and Wilfried Zaha could all be left out of the starting XI for Lyon, who have already beaten Olympiacos and Rangers since the start of their Europa League campaign.

It means that the in-form Malick Fofana will continue his run in the side, whilst Saïd Benrahma will also come in on the other side, as Sage looks set to continue with the 4-2-3-1 formation that has sparked a return to form. The in-form Rayan Cherki will also retain his place, as will Alexandre Lacazette.
