Lyon to rotate for Europa League opener?

Lyon to rotate for Europa League opener? Whilst Olympique Lyonnais will have their sights set on going far in this season’s UEFA Europa League, they may field a weakened side in their opener against RSC Anderlecht on Wednesday evening, as per a report from L’Équipe . Lyon will face Anderlecht in Belgium before then hosting Stade Rennais, who are expected to be one of OL’s competitors for UEFA Champions League qualification in Ligue 1 this season. Whilst performing well in Europe is an objective, especially after a disappointing campaign last time around, Paulo Fonseca may rotate heavily against Anderlecht. There could be just three survivors from the team that drew with Paris FC over the weekend. Even Dominik Greif is expected to be dropped in favour of Rémy Descamps in goal. Keito Nakamura could make his first start since joining Les Gones from Stade de Reims. Moussa Niakhaté, Tyler Morton, and Lois Openda could be the only players to retain their places.
