Olympique Lyonnais is set to host Vitoria Guimaraes on their Gerland pitch for the 2nd day of the Europa League this Thursday. However, Lyon’s coach Rémi Garde has announced that Henri Bedimo, the Cameroonian defender, will not be available for the match. Bedimo sustained a quadriceps injury during Lyon’s draw against Lille (0-0) on Saturday and has not yet recovered.
Bedimo’s absence adds to the defensive challenges for Lyon, as Mouhamadou Dabo, Milan Bisevac, and Miguel Lopes are also unavailable. Rémi Garde has not disclosed how he plans to organize his defense in light of Bedimo’s absence, leaving fans and observers curious about the defensive strategy for the upcoming match.
