As the January transfer window approaches, it is becoming increasingly clear which players are not in Olympique Lyonnais' long-term plans. Wilfried Zaha and Gift Orban are both absent from Lyon's match against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
Pierre Sage is untroubled by injuries as OL prepares to host the Bundesliga. It means the Lyon manager has plenty of options, especially in attack. In what is a crucial encounter, Sage is expected to team up with his most trusted trio of Malick Fofana, Alexandre Lacazette and Rayan Cherki. Players like Georges Mikautadze, Ernest Nuamah and Saïd Benrahma will have to settle for places on the bench tonight.
