Toulouse FC will be looking for a solid performance against Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday, as both teams are currently directly opposed in the struggle to avoid relegation from Ligue 1, only separated by six points in the table.
Manager Carles Martínez will continue with his habitual 4-2-3-1, though he won’t be able to count on regular starters Aron Dønnum (25) and team captain Vincent Sierro (28), who are both suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Both players should be replaced by a repositioned Franck Magri (24) and summer signing Cristian Cásseres Jr. (23) respectively, while Rasmus Nicolaisen (26) will receive the captain armband.
The Spanish coach must also do without last season’s top performer Zakaria Aboukhlal (23) who suffered a knee injury early into the season which should see him miss most of this Ligue 1 edition. Thijs Dallinga (23) should regain the starting lineup after scoring the equalising goal after having come off the bench against Lorient.
Toulouse likely lineup v Lyon
Guillaume Restes; Mikkel Desler, Logan Costa, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Gabriel Suazo; Stijn Spieriens, Cristian Cásseres, Niklas Schmidt; Franck Magri, Ibrahim Cissoko, Thijs Dallinga
